Ticket to Belmonte Castle

Located on the hill of San Cristobal, Belmonte Castle is one of the most important fortresses of the province of Cuenca.

This ticket to Belmonte Castle will allow you to download an audio guide in English on your mobile phone. Its commentary will guide you through the different parts of this imposing bastion of the 15th century.

Through the audio guide, you'll learn about the history of Belmonte Castle. In the 19th century, this bastion regained all its splendour thanks to the reforms promoted by Eugénie de Montijo, heiress of the fortress and wife of Emperor Napoleon III of France.

With your ticket, you'll be able to visit both the Patio de Armas and the walled enclosure, where the parapet and the towers stand out. If you wish, you'll even have the opportunity to climb one of these watchtowers to enjoy magnificent panoramic views.

The ticket also includes access to the outbuildings of Belmonte Castle. These include the empress' bedroom, the dais, and the armoury room. In the latter, you'll admire an outstanding collection of medieval armour.
