In the province of Burgos, the Peñaranda de Duero Castle of Spain is a well maintained gothic medieval structure. The castle was built in the tenth century, but Counts of Miranda del Castañar renovations in the fifteenth century significantly altered the structure. Only the crenellated arch of Las Monjas remains of the defensive wall that once encompassed the town, which nowadays marks the beginning of the castle. Throughout the 10th century, the fortress played a significant role in fortifying the border between the Moorish state of Al Andalus and the medieval Christian Kingdom of Castile. The castle is a small, walled enclosure with a central keep rising four stories high. The keep has three more square towers, two of which flank the ogival arch that serves as the entrance, in addition to battlements, a gallery of machiolations, and a rooftop terrace. Although a large portion of the keep has ornate wooden beams, the walls are made of solid stone ashlar stone. The Castle of Peñaranda de Duero is one of the many historical sites and popular tourist destinations in the region nowadays. There is a nominal entrance fee of between 1 and 2 euros for visitors. #History #Architecture #Castles
