11th century fortress overlooking the small mountain town of Maceda, in the Ribeira Sacra of Ourense. The castle was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1949, making it the most relevant civil building of the Galician Middle Ages. The Castle functions today as a hotel and restaurant. Spectacular views of the landscape of the Sil Canyon.
