Magnificent medieval castle located in the town of Castro Caldelas (Ourense). During the Middle Ages it was the most important fortress in the Ribeira Sacra and played a prominent role. The castle was also home to military legions, armies, senior officers and orders of warrior monks.

In the Middle Ages, the fortress of Castro Caldelas belonged to the house of Trastámara, its growth being very rapid due to trade and craft activities in which linen weavers made this place an important location for their businesses, in addition to Jews with liberal occupations.
