Picón de Lara
Lara de los Infantes, Spain, Spain
Picón de Lara is a ruined 10th-century fortress atop a hill overlooking Lara de los Infantes in Burgos province, Castilla y León, Spain, built by Gonzalo Fernández de Burgos and later tied to the powerful Lara family and figures like Fernán González, early Count of Castile.
It features remnants of a four-story homage tower, six perimeter towers, defensive walls, and a moat bridged to the main gate, strategically dominating the landscape along the Camino del Cid route.
Protected since 1949 as a cultural heritage site, the evocative ruins offer sweeping views and embody medieval Castile's turbulent history of royal and noble conflicts, linked to legends like the Cantar de los Siete Infantes de Lara.
