Numerous castles are found in the German state of Bavaria. These buildings, some of which have a history of over 1,000 years, were the setting for historical events, domains of famous personalities, and are still imposing structures to this day.

The castles described in German as Burg (castle), Festung (fort/fortress), Schloss (manor house), and Palais/Palast (palace). Many German castles after the Middle Ages were built mainly as royal or noble residences rather than as fortified buildings.

The Natural monument of Los Barruecos is composed of large granite stones on the edge of ponds. The Vostell Museum is located inside the park, in an 18th Century woolen washing place.

Besides in the surrounding area we may find old tombs, Roman edification remains, or the megalithic remains at Hijadilla are other interesting spots in los Barruecos.

Los Barruecos was declared a Natural Monument due to the nature richness it holds and because it is surrounded by spectacular landscapes. It is located right in the center of the plains of Cáceres, an almost plain zone where great granite stones stand out.

Around the pond live a wide variety of birds and animals such as ducks, herons, ornate hawk-eagle, Montagu’s harrier, otter, newts, and of course storks and their nests built on top of rocks.
