Castillo de Calatañazor

On a hill in the Sangra Valley stands Calatañazor, also known as the castle of the Padilla family. Another name for it in Spanish is 'nido de águilas' or 'eagle's nest', due to the shape of its towers reminiscent of an eagle's nest. Known for its eagle connection, Calatañazor, **originally built in the 11th century** and rebuilt in the 14th century, was the seat of the Padilla lineage. Today, the castle houses remnants of its lienas and part of the tower of the homenaje. The ancient courtyard of arms now opens to the caserío in the form of a porticoed plaza, with the tower of the homenaje and the rollo jurisdicional or picota, symbols of the royal and feudal power over the population, remaining.
