The Castillo de Sotopalacios, also known as 'Castillo del Cid', is a fortification located in Sotopalacios, a locality in the Burgos province of Spain. Originally constructed during the 14th century, this castle has a rich history, with notable families such as the Padilla calling it their home. Moreover, there is some evidence suggesting ownership by the dukes of Medinacél, though this remains unconfirmed. However, what we aim to highlight now is the current restoration process that is giving the Castillo de Sotopalacios a new lease on life.
Recently, the Castillo de Sotopalacios was legally sold, marking the start of an extensive restoration project. The sold castle is now undergoing extensive renovations, with a team of experts working tirelessly to preserve and restore its original glory.
