Castle of Gormaz
The Castle of Gormaz is a large medieval fortress on a rocky hill above the Duero in Soria, Spain, originally constructed in 965–66. It occupies a long irregular ridge with an extended curtain wall reinforced by many projecting towers and an eastern citadel. The site was later abandoned and today survives as extensive ruinous masonry walls and towers.

As it stood in 965
The shape it held in its prime.
Long, low-profile fortress running along a rocky ridge about 380 metres long, its curtain wall roughly 10 metres high and punctuated by two dozen-plus rectangular projecting towers; the northern wall runs nearly straight with regularly spaced towers, while the southern side follows a curved, irregular line with finer carved ashlar. Built of buff to grey masonry stone, the complex includes a higher eastern citadel, multiple gates and a main southwest entrance formed by two successive horseshoe arches set between towers, all sited 100 m above the Duero river.
