Siguenza, Spain

The parador of Siguenza is a medieval in an Arab fortress. A parador is a hotel owned and run by the Spanish government. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated.

The village itself is a walk back in time. The cathedral is a short walk from the hotel, down a hill. Take some of the side streets and get a taste of village life.

The castle was built after the 8th century Arab invasion. Significant parts of the wall are preserved, whose gates and towers begin at the castle. The Romanesque cathedral began construction in 1130. The exterior resembles a medieval fortress, and has Romanesque towers and portico. 

The Plaza Mayor is the center of the city and is also known as Plaza del Mercado. The square is Renaissance-style. Other interesting spots include the seminary and several churches.
