Medinaceli

Built on a hilltop at about 1210 meters above sea level overlooking the Jalón valley, Medinaceli is most famous for housing the only three-gated Roman arch in Spain from the 1st-3rd centuries AD. This ancient town was once a strategic Islamic stronghold and later became the seat of the Dukes of Medinaceli. Its perfectly preserved medieval layout offers visitors a journey through time with its narrow cobblestone streets and historic architecture.
