Discover Gormaz Castle, one of Soria's great jewels

Una de las grandes joyas históricas que podemos encontrar en Soria es, sin lugar a dudas, el Castillo de Gormaz. Se trata de una fortaleza de origen musulmán cuya construcción comenzó nada más y nada menos que en el siglo IX, es decir, durante la época del Califato de Córdoba.

He got up on the remains of a previous castle.This fortress ended up being conquered in 912 by Christians, although he returned to Muslim hands during Alhakén II Caliphate. Una de las cuestiones a tener en cuenta en la historia de esta edificación es que terminó convirtiéndose en una pieza clave en cuanto a la defensa musulmana contra los reinos cristianos del norte se refiere.It was the way they had to move them away from the area, since they were in a strategically privileged place.

Es más, hay que tener en cuenta que durante los siglos IX y X, los cristianos y musulmanes se peleaban por obtener el control de este Castillo de Gormaz.We traveled to the year 975, instant at which Count García Fernández, who was an ally of the Sancho II kings of Pamplona and Ramiro III de León, makes the decision to besiege this castle.

While carrying out this task, it ends up being attacked by an army led by Gálib.What was going to be an incredible victory ends up being a defeat of the most humiliating.Only a few years later, specifically in 978, he finally obtains that long -awaited success although in the year 983 he achieves control nothing more and nothing less than Almanzor.

Muslims continued to have power until 1060, when the definitive conquest by Christians is produced being King Ferdinand I de León. Desde entonces, esta fortaleza tuvo varios señores entre los que se encontraba Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar "El Cid".

It is then when it is decided to create the people of Gormaz that we find today, and that is located at the same feet of the castle.With the passage of time, that strategic importance he had was decreasing.It became a prison before the strength was definitively abandoned.

Desde el año 1931, el Castillo de Gormaz pasó a ser considerado como Monumento Nacional.In addition, he has been part of numerous feature films among which is ‘El Cid’ (1961).After its recent restoration, the entrance to it is completely free.
