Montuenga Castle, Montuenga de Soria, Spain

Montuenga Castle in Soria, Spain forms part of the defensive line of the Jalón River set in a natural passage between the plateau and strategic basin of the Ebro. The area was subject to disputes, notable during the Castilian Civil War.

The castle is perched on a high hill, steep and long, from which it dominates the town of Montuenga de Soria. The remains of the building, two polygonal towers at each end, are joined by walls.

Tumbledown castle ruins quietly defying the passage of time. There's a track at the base that you can use to get to the castle ruins - it's rutted but really done by foot. Now that the runners are not structurally sound.... One day those walls will collapse so you takes your chances if you venture too close...

The views are magnificent, but I do not recommend going there, especially in a group, since it is practically in ruins and several rocks have already fallen, so the safety of visitors could not be ensured. It is accessed via a path that zigzags up.

It is being restored, it has magnificent views of the surroundings of Montuenga and itself. I recommend visiting it, it is magnificent ✨

Great views, castle in ruins with some restoration. The very interesting town with stone and adobe construction. It's worth a stop.

Good place to go with my family on vacation I don't give it 5 stars because Andrea's roof is a bit uncomfortable
