Trujillo Castle
Castillo de Trujillo
A 10th-century Moorish castle on a hilltop, with battlements overlooking old Trujillo and the plains. A Game of Thrones filming location.
Trujillo Castle was built by Muslims in the 9th and 10th centuries and later expanded by Christian kingdoms. Its square towers and walls are well preserved, and inside the castle is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Victory. Walking along the battlements gives views over the red-tiled roofs of the old town and the endless plain, and the sunsets are especially beautiful. The castle was used as a filming location for season 7 of Game of Thrones. Admission is inexpensive, and it can be toured together with the main square, about a 15-minute uphill walk from the square.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–14:00 and 16:30–20:00 (shorter in winter)
