History
The Parador de Sigüenza occupies the hilltop Castle of Sigüenza in Guadalajara province, a fortress whose origins lie in a Roman and later Moorish citadel and which for centuries served as the fortified residence of the bishops of Sigüenza. It suffered major damage during the 19th-century Carlist Wars and was subsequently abandoned as a residence.
The restored castle opened as a Parador de Turismo in 1976, converting the medieval stronghold into an atmospheric hotel. Today it offers around 81-85 rooms (over 160 beds) behind its crenellated stone walls, one of the most emblematic castle-paradores in Spain.
