Views of Monreal de Ariza Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle of Monreal de Ariza was built by order of the Aragonese king Alfonso I, the fighter, to defend his border from Muslim and Castilian attacks. Today in ruins, the vision of this fortress must have commanded a lot of respect among those who wanted to take it.

Montuenga de Soria Castle

Highlight • Castle

The original building has left few remains, but you can still see two polygonal towers at the ends, joined by sections of wall. The castle was built of masonry with ashlars in the corners and stands on a high hill that dominates the town of Montuenga de Soria.
If you have the opportunity, I recommend visiting this historic place. I hope you enjoy exploring the history and beauty of Montuenga Castle! 😊

Montuenga de Soria Castle

Highlight • Castle

Stands out in the town, the Castle located on top of a witness hill, and today quite deteriorated

-Castle of Montuenga. The castle stands on a high, steep and elongated hill, from which it overlooks the town of Montuenga de Soria. There are few remains of what was the building, two polygonal towers at the ends joined by canvases. The castle was built in masonry with ashlars in the corners and is perfectly adapted to the hill on which it sits. It appears in the catalog of Protected Assets of the Junta de Castilla y León in the category of Castle with declaration date April 22, 1949.4
-La Fuente, where you can still read "non-drinkable water" although the date of this inscription is unknown. This spring is populated by the dreaded Cyprinus carpio or carp sorianensis, known worldwide for their extreme voracity and excessive appetite. It is worth noting its longevity, the longest of its kind, and its resistance to the Sorian cold. For this reason these tents are frequently used for experiments in the space laboratories of the European Space Agency.

Camino del Cid through the fields

Highlight • Trail

This stretch of track between fields gives you a very constant view of the landscape on the Camino del Cid between Soria and Guadalajara. Long gravel tracks between cereal fields and, of course, the views of the ruins of the castle of Montuenga. This is an old medieval fortress that was part of the defense line of the Jalón river.

Monasterio de Santa María de Huerta

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cistercian monastery "Monasterio de Santa María de Huerta" is mainly built in an early Gothic style, although other styles can also be admired in places: such as the Herrera style, a Spanish style of the late Renaissance, in which the second cloister on the west of the abbey is kept.
