Peñafiel Castle, located in the town of Peñafiel in the province of Valladolid, Spain, is a striking example of medieval military architecture. Built primarily in the 10th century and extensively remodeled in the 15th century, the castle is perched on a narrow hilltop, giving it a ship-like appearance. Its strategic location provided a vantage point to control the surrounding area and protect against invasions. The castle features a long, narrow layout with fortified walls, a central keep, and several defensive towers.
