Castles in Castille and Leon

 

When you are in Castille and Leon, you’ll immediately notice you are in the land of the castles. Even the name of this region is derived from the word “castle”.

And it is no wonder there are so many medieval castles in Castille and Leon, as this area was a war zone for centuries. And castles and fortifications were built here as far as the 8th century, as it was necessary to defend against the Moorish danger.

The most well known of these castles is the Alcázar of Segovia, which together with Neuschwanstein in Germany inspired Disney to build the Cinderella castle. Then, also here you can find the Castle of Coca or the La Mota Castle.
