Ponferrada Castle is a notable Templar fortress in the Spanish province of León. Join our guided tour to explore the castle's interior and learn about its history.

Ponferrada Castle Guided Tour

At the scheduled time, we will meet at the entrance ramps to the Templar Castle of Ponferrada, beside the Church of San Andrés.

We will begin our exploration of the castle, focusing on its history and the role of the Order of the Knights Templar. We will discuss the origins of this military and religious organization and its connections to the El Bierzo area.

During the tour, we will ascend to the top of the defensive towers for views of Ponferrada and the surrounding mountains. After taking in the scenery, we will continue visiting various sections of the castle, noting its vastness.

After approximately an hour and a half of exploring this monument, we will conclude our guided tour at the base of Moclín Tower. From that point, you may continue to explore the sections of the fortress that interest you at your own pace.
