Royal Fortress of the Concepcion
The fortress of Real Fuerte de la Concepción (English: Royal Fortress of the Conception) is a star fortress built in the Vaubanesque style. It is located west of the village of Aldea del Obispo〔Tourist & Motoring Atlas – Spain & Portugal. Publisher; Michelin 2014 edition. Work: page 42, Aldea del Obispo, Grid coordinates J9. ISBN 9782067192430〕 in the province of Salamanca, western Spain, part of the autonomous community of Castile and León.〔()〕 The fortress was constructed there because of its position of great strategic significance due to its proximity to the border between Spain and Portugal which lies to the west of the fortress. The Fortress of the Concepcion is also opposite the Portuguese castle fortress of Almeida which lies west-north-west of the fortress. In 2006, the derelict fortress was sold privately and the site was renovated into a luxury hotel which opened in 2012.〔
== History ==
In 1640, following the death of Philip II, the conflict known as the Portuguese Restoration War began. The new Spanish King, Philip III of Spain, intended to make Portugal a Spanish province, and Portuguese nobles stood to lose all of their power. As a consequence the Portuguese proclaimed their independence from Spain. On the 7 December 1641, following a military coup the Duke of Braganza was proclaimed king of Portugal and became Juan IV.〔 The Spanish King began to make plans to recover the throne of Portugal and part of these plans was the strengthening of fortifications along the border along with the construction of new fortress along the border of the two countries. The area of the border between the River Coa and the River Agueda became a buffer zone between the two kingdoms. The ''Fortress of the Concepcion'' was one of the new fortress constructed by order of the Duke of Osunal, commander of the Spanish Army and was located in this area to serve as a military station for the Spanish army to recover Portugal.
