Rello, in the province of Soria, is a medieval gem declared a Site of Cultural Interest and one of the best-preserved walled complexes in Spain. Situated on a rocky promontory in the gorge of the Escalote River, this small town offers an authentic journey back in time. The medieval wall, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, completely surrounds the town center. It preserves towers, a patrol walkway, and an access gate with a pointed arch, along with remains of the old drawbridge.

This impressive castle has a rich history dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Initially, in the 10th and 11th centuries, there was a Muslim fortress on the site. After the Castilian conquest in the 12th century, it was expanded with a walled outer ring. Between 1460 and 1480, Luis Tovar and María de Guzmán ordered the construction of the stately castle. In 1512, the design and construction of an artillery fort for military purposes began. The castle features a blend of medieval and Renaissance elements, including a keep and a palace within the walls.

Serón de Nágima is a municipality in Soria in the community of Castilla y León, whose history dates back to archaeological remains from the Bronze Age, Celtiberians and Romans. Due to its border position, it was a prominent location during the defense against al-Andalus. Its castle, dating back to the 14th or 15th centuries, is in a very poor state of conservation, given that it is built with clay materials that are not very resistant to erosive action.

Rello is a municipality in Soria in the community of Castilla y León. It is characterized by being an old medieval walled town, which after the reconquest belonged to the Community of Villa y Tierra de Berlanga, until in the 15th century it became part of the Lordship of the Count of Coruña. Due to its location, at the top of a cliff, the structure of the town was enclosed between the castle, at one end, and the rest of the houses surrounded by a wall. In the area you can also find a caliphal watchtower called Torre del Tiñón, where it is said that Almanzor died.

The hermitage of San Baudelio is considered the "Sistine Chapel" of Mozarabic art. Despite the looting to which it was subjected in the 1920s, the artistic richness of its frescoes and its interior distribution continues to move more than a millennium after its construction in Muslim territory.

The Market Gate was the closest to the castle, which is why it is the most important. It is one of the three that preserves the wall of Almazán, of the seven gates that the enclosure originally had. It stands out for its solid image with its two crenellated towers.
