Spain · 14th century
Pambre Castle (Galician: Castelo de Pambre) is a medieval fortress located in the parish of Pambre, within the municipality of Palas de Rei, in the province of Lugo, Galicia, Spain. Perched atop a rocky hill overlooking the Pambre River, the castle is considered one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Galicia. Notably, it was one of the few fortresses to withstand the Irmandiño revolts of the 15th century.
