\nIt is believed that there are around 20,000 castles in Spain, although not all of them have been kept in a good state of conservation over time. <\/span>If this weekend you feel like making a getaway to say goodbye to the month of August as it deserves, you can encourage yourself to visit this medieval castle in Spain, which will surely not leave you indifferent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Medieval castle of Spain<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is the castle of Gormaz, located in the town of the same name, in the province of Soria. <\/span>It appears to be built on a previous fortress, but the previous structure was built by Caliph al-Hakam II during the Caliphate of C\u00f3rdoba, in the 9th century. <\/span>Some historians say that at that time it was the largest castle in Europe, with a walled perimeter of 1.2 kilometers and 28 towers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The fortress has two well-differentiated parts<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , which are separated by a moat. <\/span>In the eastern area is the homage tower, the fortress, the caliphal chambers and the cistern. <\/span>Meanwhile, in the western area there is a large esplanade where the troops camped, and a pool to give the animals a drink.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the main characteristics of this medieval castle in Spain is its very elongated irregular shape, completely adapted to the platform of the hill on which it was built. <\/span>Visiting the Gormaz Castle is one of the best plans you can make this weekend.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During your tour you will find several information panels that make the visit very enjoyable. <\/span>In addition, you can go up to the Paseo de Ronda and the battlements, from where there are impressive views of the natural environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Right next to the fortress is the <\/span><\/span>hermitage of San Miguel, declared a Site of Cultural Interest<\/span><\/span><\/strong> . <\/span>A small religious temple that houses remains of Romanesque frescoes from the 12th century.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What to see in the area?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

To complete the getaway, a few kilometers from Gormaz is El Burgo de Osma, one of the most beautiful villages in the province of Soria. <\/span>The Plaza Mayor preserves the traditional Castilian architecture, and here are several buildings of interest, such as the Town Hall and the Hospital of San Agust\u00edn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Church of Santa Clara has inside the relics of Santa Clara<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , hence its name. <\/span>One of the most important monuments in El Burgo de Osma is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, a Romanesque church that houses the reproduction of the beatified codex.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
