Cuéllar Castle

Highlight • Castle

Cuéllar Castle, also known as the Castle-Palace of the Dukes of Alburquerque, is one of the town's most iconic monuments and has a rich history spanning several centuries.
Construction of the castle began in the 11th century and was completed in the 17th century. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and renovated in various architectural styles, including Gothic and Renaissance. Its historical owners include Álvaro de Luna and Beltrán de la Cueva, as well as successive Dukes of Alburquerque.
Currently, the castle houses the Cuéllar Tourist Office, and guided and dramatized tours are offered on weekends.

El Llano

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between these towns there appears a set of hills, as is the case here where some lands are raised that let us see views of the area as a whole. This crowded area goes from Cuéllar to Sant Cristóbal de Cuéllar.

El Cubo Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Windmills, like El Cubo, have been a hallmark of the region for centuries. Although their use today is not as widespread as in the past, they remain a reminder of traditional wind energy and engineering. The source of energy in a windmill is the wind itself, and it is used to grind grain, pump water, and perform other tasks.

If you ever visit Cuéllar, don't hesitate to explore this historic mill and take in its beauty and functionality. 🌬️🏰
