Castillo de Haza

 

Castle tower and remaining wall
 

The Castillo de Haza packs a lot of information and experience into a small tower. Like most castles in the region the surrounding landscape is beautiful and the strategic location of the castle provides a 360 panorama. It is visible from the main road and easily accessible though to actually enter the castle you need to follow the steps below and you will be provided a keycode to open the door. 

Once inside the automatic lights help to illuminate the first floor which provides some contextual information. There is an extremely well done movie that can be played giving a short history of the area. You can then climb to the viewing platform that gives fantastic views. 

There is not a ton to do in and around the castle but it's certainly worth the stop. It can be a quick visit with a rewarding view and the historical information that it provides is relevant to other castles in the area, some of which may only have a single placard with sparse information. 

Accessing the castle is free but not necessarily straightforward. Use this QR code (located at the entrance of the castle) to receive a code to open the castle door.

Staircases were well preserved
