The medieval **Ruins of the Zúñiga's Castle in San Martín de Valvení** lie in the heart of a small town in Spain's Castilla y León region. **We know** it was built in the 13th to 14th centuries, and it was once the residence of the Zúñiga family, a powerful clan that controlled the village in the 15th century. After the Zúñiga family, the castle passed to other notable clans such as the Alburquerque, Guzmanes, Portocarrero, and Camarasa. Today, the ruins, **which are protected under the general protection of Spanish castles**, are a monument of cultural interest.
