Ciudad Rodrigo is a very important place in the Peninsular War since it suffered not one but two sieges: in 1810 and in 1812.

The Parador of the town not only stands out for being one of the oldest of the National Network of Paradors, but because in its Alcazar Hall, Wellington signed the capitulation of the French troops in the aforementioned year of 1812.

A true royal palace, considered, since 1917, as one of the most beautiful, romantic and historic hotels in the world.

The city witnessed the battle of Buçaco, where General Wellington defeated the troops of Emperor Napoleon. In fact, on the Hotel grounds there is a former convent that was the place where Wellington set up his headquarters during that period. And even one of the cells of the convent was where the English general slept the night after the battle.

Rural Hotel and an authentic eighteenth century inn just 16km far from Astorga and in the middle of the Way of Saint James. Napoleon stayed here during the time he spent in Spain during the War of Independence.

Today it has been declared a National Monument, is restored and is integrated into the Parador Nacional de Turismo de Benavente.

Most of the castle was destroyed by the French troops during the War of Independence, preserving only the beautiful and original tower, a work made with a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance styles, in the early sixteenth century, and belonging to the Casa Pimentel.

During the War of Independence this magnificent convent was transformed into barracks and suffered serious damage.
