El tiene tiene una magia especial, las vistas son emocionantes y podrán hacer unas fotos tremendas. Si van de camino a Soria o pasan cerca del Burgo de Osma merece la pena el paseo
The castle sits on top of its own hill which it encirles. It offers amazing & I don't exagerate they are truely amazing views. By the river below is a very old bridge over the Duero and in the village is an acient church with wonderful wall piantings.
Fortaleza Califal impresionante. Desde la loma de esta fortaleza se respira la tranquilidad y el silencio de los ultimos diez siglos.
En cualquier otro país esto sería centro de peregrinación de miles de turistas al mes. Cierto es que, para los que visitamos con asiduidad esta maravilla, parte del encanto se encuentra en la tranquilidad y paz que se respira.Recomendable al 100% y esperemos que algún día se valore este patrimonio como merece y pueda mantenerse y restaurarse respetando al máximo sus orígenes.
Dominando un extenso campo alrededor del Duero, el Castillo de Gormaz, destruido por los cristianos y reconstruido por orden del califa de Cordoba, todavia se pueden observar en el restos de arcos de origen arabe se està llevando a cabo su restauracion. Su visita es gratuïta, hay lugar para aparcar en sus cercanias.
This enormous castle can be seen from far away. It is recommended to visit it at ease and savour the wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Do not forget to visit the little church that you pas at your right hand driving up to the castle, it has some very interesting frescoes.
You can see Gormaz from a long way away, and it looks just stunning as you approach, covering the full length of the mountain top. It's free to get in, some basic signage inside, but it is essentially a ruin, open to the elements. And it is huge. The end with the more built up area is great fun, it's one of those castles you can actually get up onto the ramparts and walk along on one side (I love castles which just trust people to be careful instead of forcing them to), and an interesting escape door allowing you to suddenly step outside of the walls. The whole thing has 24 towers around the walls, and from one end you can't see the other. The views were just amazing, it is an ideal site for a castle! With the river Duero below and the mountains beyond, 360 in all directions. The best, and most famous, bit is the double moorish style door, beautiful and curious. We were very glad we made the effort to come back here after initially driving past and being stunned from a distance, highly recommendable.
Easy to find, breath taking views, and the best no fee to see it! I am hopeful in the future they add english translations to their description plaques. We took pictures and translated the spanish when we got home. Definitely a must see if you are in the area
We could see the castle from far away as we drove toward it...just impressive. Once there, it was great walking around and taking photos of the castle and the landscape beyond. Can't miss this if you're in Soria!
Fortaleza con más historia que presente, y por desgracia bastante deteriorado. Aun con todo, sorprende por su grandiosidad, ofrece unas vistas impresionantes hacia todos lados y tiene una imagen imponente desde abajo, y realmente desde muchos puntos de la provincia, ya que es visible desde la distancia, especialmente si se visitan muchas dr las atalayas de la provincia. Para mi, una parada obligatoria.
