Castillo de Somaén
Somaén, Spain, Spain
Castillo de Somaén is a medieval fortress in the village of Somaén, Soria province, Spain, possibly originating from an Arab watchtower but primarily constructed in the 14th century using ashlar masonry, lime, and pebbles on the orders of the Count of Medinaceli.
Strategically positioned atop a hill amid high surrounding terrain between Medinaceli and Arcos de Jalón, it features an irregular enclosure protected by a moat and a distinctive elongated pentagonal tower, reflecting robust yet flexible defensive architecture.
Today, the well-preserved structure operates as a tourist accommodation, blending its historical role as a symbol of surveillance with modern hospitality in a scenic, arid landscape.
