Castillo de los Rojas

Poza de la Sal, Spain, Spain

---

Castillo de los Rojas is a medieval fortress crowning a hill above the historic town of Poza de la Sal in Burgos province, Castilla y León, Spain.

Originating in the late 9th century when Count Diego Rodríguez Porcelos repopulated the area and built an initial keep with walls for frontier defense, it was comprehensively rebuilt in the 14th century by the Rodríguez de Rojas family into its current form.

 Occupied by French troops in 1808 during the Peninsular War and subjected to repeated attacks by Burgos forces until war's end, the evocative ruins now offer stunning panoramic views as a protected Bien de Interés Cultural site.
