Castillo de los Adelantados (castillo del Cid)
Spain
Castillo de los Adelantados, also known as Castillo del Cid, is a medieval fortress historically associated with the legendary hero El Cid in the Burgos region of Spain.
Dating back to the 9th-11th centuries during the Reconquista, it served as a strategic stronghold for adelantados—royal frontier governors—and local counts defending against Muslim incursions along key valleys.
Though largely ruined after sieges, fires, and 19th-century demolitions, its remnants evoke Cid-era tales of Castilian valor amid Burgos's turbulent feudal landscape.
