Castilforte
Village
Castilforte is a municipality of La Alcarria, in the province of Guadalajara, in the vicinity of the Entrepeñas reservoir and next to the boundary with the province of Cuenca, to which it belonged in the past, with 57 inhabitants in 2025 compared with 316 in the mid-19th century. Its name is a popular form of “Castillo Fuerte” (“strong castle”), referring to the castle of which only ruins and a few caves remain today, on a hill next to the village. The scientist and clockmaker Diego Rostriaga was born in Castilforte in 1713; his works came to be sought after by the royal family. The parish church is dedicated to the Asunción de Nuestra Señora.
