This town is something out of a fairytale. I loved all the touches this castle had from the outside to the inside. It is free to go in and check out, there is a boutique museum to get more information about the castle and surrounding areas. If you go to the interactive tablet you can take a photo and have it emailed to yourself, the area also has old medieval weaponry tools to view close and touch, overall a wonderful experience.

A grand castle in the center of town with far-reaching views. It is free to enter, and dogs are not restricted. They can go both inside and outside the castle. Parking is available on the roads surrounding the castle at no charge. The stairs and paths leading up to the castle are uneven and require caution, but the castle is worth it....

Pendurado a 947 m. de altitude sobre unha crista rochosa da Beira Alta, o pobo de Penedono está dominado ao norte por un grandioso castelo triangular coroado por merlóns piramidais. Unha picota do século XVI precede os chanzos que levan ao castelo. Os rexistros máis antigos datan da primeira Reconquista Cristiá da zona dos mouros e a súa posterior repoboación tras a vitoria de Ramiro II de León sobre as forzas mouras na Batalla de Simancas, no ano 939. Penedono permaneceu como castelo fronteirizo durante varios anos, pero no ano 987 foi reconquistado polos exércitos de Almanzor. O castelo foi reconquistado aos mouros polas forzas leais a Fernando I de León entre 1055 e 1057. A defensa do territorio confiouse entón a Rodrigo Tedoniz, que se encargou da reconstrución do castelo.
