Puerta y Muralla medieval de Fuentes de la Alcarria

---

Puerta y Muralla medieval de Fuentes de la Alcarria in Guadalajara province, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, forms part of the town's 16th-century defensive enclosure rebuilt by nobleman García de Barrionuevo on a high rocky ridge above a deep surrounding vega.

Originally tied to Toledo's archbishops before becoming royal property, the sturdy cal y canto walls with almenas protected the compact settlement accessed via a narrow 30-pace path, though now deteriorated in sections.

The preserved gate and remnants highlight local fortifications from Felipe II's era, blending naturally into the dramatic terrain that once fortified the village against invasions.
