Local name: Castillo de Castril

Castril Castle

Castril Castle sits atop La Peña cliff, creating a dramatic silhouette over the town. The vertical limestone cliffs, deep Castril River gorge, and surrounding forests form a rugged and pristine landscape. The remains of the fortress walls visually merge with the cliff edges, forming a striking monolith. From the summit, visitors enjoy 360-degree panoramas including El Portillo reservoir and mountain ridges. Well-maintained paths lead safely to the Sagrado Corazon statue, crowning the peak, blending historical power with scenic elegance.
