The Templar castle of Ponferrada is a magnificent building. It was originally a fort and then a Roman citadel. At the beginning of the 12th century, the Knights Templar took possession of the fortress and reinforced and extended it to use it as a habitable palace and for protection on the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela. 🏰✨ #TemplarCastle #HistoryUnveiled #DiscoverPonferrada #PonferradaCastle #TemplarLegacy #MedievalFortress #SpanishHistory #KnightlyHeritage #ExplorePonferrada #ArchitecturalMarvel #CastleLife #HeritagePreservation #CastleExploration #spain #sonya350 #vmribeiro
