This impressive fortress was built in the 16th century during the reign of Philip II

Spanish Pyrenees Hike ~ Huesca (Region) Designed as a strategic defense of the Pyrenees border against French invasion, it is one of the best examples of star-shaped fortifications, with five pentagonal bastions at each corner. Don't miss the Miniature Museum, it's very impressive. The castle's architecture combines a wide moat, thick walls, and a series of bastions and outposts that are still well preserved today. Inside, you can visit a small military museum, and its central courtyard hosts cultural events. Furthermore, one of its most popular attractions is the herd of deer that inhabit the moat, giving it a unique impression. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Aragon
