Castillo-palacio de los condes de Benavente
Spain, Spain
Castillo-palacio de los condes de Benavente in Benavente, Zamora province, Castilla y León, Spain, began as a 12th-century fortress repopulated under Fernando II of León amid Reconquista efforts.
Transformed into a grand castle-palace by the powerful Pimentel family—Counts of Benavente—from the 15th-16th centuries, it hosted key events like the 1201 Concordia uniting León and Castile, featuring lavish expansions until devastated by French troops in 1809.
Today, only the iconic Renaissance Caracol Tower survives as a national monument, housing the Parador Nacional de Turismo amid restored grounds overlooking the town's historic core.
