Castle of Rochafrida

Monument · Beteta, Serranía Alta, Cuenca

Rochafrida Castle, also called Rochafría, crowns a hill just east of Beteta, above the town on which it stands, in the province of Cuenca. It dates from the 13th century and was refurbished in the 19th century under the direction of the Carlist lieutenant colonel of Portuguese origin Manuel Brusco, under the orders of General Ramón Cabrera. Situated at more than 1300 metres of altitude, it was the centre of the lordship of Beteta.
