Description
The castle of the Rojas is located on the top of a hill near the town of Poza de la Sal. At the end of the 9th century Count Diego Rodríguez Porcelos repopulated Poza building the castle for the defense of the new territory. Like other castles of this time it may have been a simple keep surrounded by some walls.
In the 14th century Rodriguez de Rojas family rebuilt the current castle. It was occupied in 1808 by French troops and was a target of continuous attacks of Burgos garrisons until the end of the war.
