Ciudad Rodrigo Castle
Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain, Spain
Ciudad Rodrigo Castle is a 14th-century fortress in the walled city of Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca province, Spain, originally built by King Enrique II of Castile around 1372 on an earlier strategic site near the Portuguese border.
Featuring robust granite walls, corner towers, and an early 16th-century artillery barrier with bastions, it served as a key defensive outpost during Reconquista conflicts and later sieges, including the Peninsular War.
Beautifully restored and now operating as the Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo hotel since 1931, it offers luxurious stays within its historic confines overlooking the Agueda River valley.
