Castillo de peñafiel:
- Castle was the first line of defense at the Duero for Christians and Muslims during the ninth and tenth centuries.
- Even though it was built during the tenth century, it had several modifications during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and is one of the finest collections of Gothic-Germanic castles.
- The origin of the name “Peñafiel” is due to the Castilian count named Sancho García who said “desde hoy en adelante esta será la peña más fiel de Castilla", which means that the castle would be on the boulder most accurate of Castilla.
- In 1442 the prince of Viana was borne, who was the son of the king Juan II of Aragón and the queen Blanca of Navarra.
- The castle and its walls are visible from the village of Peñafiel and from the surrounding vineyards, which is why it represents the main symbol of this wine region of Spain.
