EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic and historic Penafiel Castle in Spain, nestled atop a hill overlooking the Duero River. Founded in the 10th century by Earl Lain Calvo, this National Monument is a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of the region during the Middle Ages. The castle's imposing structure, with its battlements, castellated walls, and crenellated towers, speaks to the defensive strategies employed during the Castilian and Leonese periods. The intricate details of the Gothic architecture are on full display, with loop holes and other defensive features providing a glimpse into the castle's past military functions. The castle's oldest tower, a 13th-century structure, stands proudly among the more recent additions, showcasing the castle's evolution over the centuries. Designated as a National Monument in 1917, Penafiel Castle continues to be an important cultural and historical site in Spain, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at its beauty and significance.
