Castillo de Gómara

The remnants of Castillo de Gómara, a medieval fortress, sit near the town of the same name in the province of Soria, Spain. Its history can be traced back to the 11th century, when defense towers of Berber origin began to dot the Rituerto Valley and the Campo de Gómara. Gómara was eventually granted to the Bishop of Osma by King Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1136. For over six centuries, the castle served as a strategic point, supporting the fortress of Peñalcázar during disputes between the Aragonese and Castillans. In 1602, the castle was granted to don Antonio López del Río, Alférez Mayor of Soria, with the title of Count of Gómara by King Felipe II. Today, only a few remnants of the castle can be seen, including the remains of two cubes, one attached to a small piece of the wall, and a cistern or well, which is all that remains of that fortification.
