Castillo de Villapadierna
This live stream shows Castillo de Villapadierna, a mid-15th-century fortress perched on the outskirts of the village of Villapadierna in León, Spain. The camera captures its characteristic square central tower rising above the remains of a double curtain wall, set beside the parish church of San Cornelio y San Cipriano. Recent restoration work has cleared centuries of overgrowth, repaired nearly half of the outer ramparts, and given the tower a new copper-and-wood roof, breathing new life into this Gothic stronghold
