Frías Castle, located in Frías (Burgos province), is the very picture of a medieval castle, an architectural blend of Gothic, Romanesque, and Mudejar styles. Towering over the breathtaking Tobalina valley, it showcases thick stone walls, towering towers, and beautiful courtyards. But there is more to this structure than meets the eye. A strategic placement, it was once the residence of the Dukes of Frías, who ruled from this vantage point. According to the source material, Frías Castle was built between the 12th and 15th century, specifically traced back to the 10th century in the sources [2,3], though no specific year of construction is provided. [1] does not provide construction year information.
