Castillo de Loarre
Castillo de Loarre is the best-preserved Romanesque fortress in Spain, with construction starting in 1020. Its walls are 3.5 meters thick, and the castle sits at 1,000 meters elevation on a rocky outcrop. It predates the Alhambra by over 400 years, offering a stark contrast in military design—bare stone versus elaborate palace decoration. This nine-tower complex spans 2 hectares and defended the plains of Aragón without a single siege engine ever breaching its gates.
