This ruined Castelo Rodrigo Castle is wonderful to ramble around. It dates from the 15th century. The castle was destroyed when the local royal supported King Phillip of Spain-- the locals attacked and burned it down and generally ransacked it.
The castle was left in ruins (rather than being completely demolished or re-built). And so it presents a very romantic picture, being right at the top of the village. Because it is set at the highest point of the hill, it has outstanding views of the surrounding área.
