The fortress of Ledesma

Monument · Ledesma, Tierra de Ledesma, Salamanca

Image of Ledesma, not of the place itself.

Fernando II of León had it built in the last third of the twelfth century with a trapezoidal plan; Beltrán and Francisco de la Cueva, Counts of Ledesma, remodelled it in the fifteenth. It preserves two towers on the south front and two superimposed Gothic chambers.
