The Castle of Paterno (Spanish: Castillo de Paterno), also known as Castle of Albaladejo, is a fortress located in the town of Albaladejo, in the province of Ciudad Real, Spain.

History[edit]

The castle is of Roman origin, later conquered by the Arabs and re-built in the 13th century. It belonged to the Orden of Santiago, who helped to maintain the castle.

Design[edit]

It is a small rectangular fortress. The central area has not been preserved and currently there are only two towers of the castle left.

Current situation[edit]

It is in a state of ruin. The castle falls under the protection of the Declaration of the Decree of April 22, 1949, and Law 16/1985 on Spanish Historical Heritage. As of 2023, it is open to tourism all year with free passage and entry.

Surroundings[edit]

The Roman village of the Bridge of Olmilla: In this bridge, near Albaladejo, remains of a Roman village have been found together with interesting mosaics.

The Church of Santiago is a 16th-century church close to the castle.
