Image of Torrelobatón, not of the place itself.

The castle was the setting of the blockbuster El Cid, filmed in 1961 with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren. Three hundred and fifty residents of the village worked as extras in the film, an episode still remembered in the town as its great moment of glory.
