Medinaceli

Medinaceli was our first stop in Spain, after landing at Madrid's Barajas Airport and picking up the rental car. It was a Roman town, and still has a triumphal archway (although covered for renovations when we saw it) from that era. It also has charming medieval streets and buildings, and was a great first impression of Spain!

This little church stood at the entrance to the town.

The bell tower of the church, beyond old tiles rooves.

The castle of the Dukes of Medinaceli, built in the 16th century.

The old Moorish gate, with what survives of the medieval town walls.
