The city of Ciudad Rodrigo featured large in the events of the Peninsular War and was laid siege to by French and Allied armies.
In this third post in a series looking at the places visited this summer, touring key Peninsular War sites, I take a look at the city and what can still be seen today. If you would like to know more then just follow the link to JJ's link Jonathan (JJ) |

Good post. Very informative. I was in Spain this year as well, but only saw Cuidad Rodrigo from as distance as we hurtled towards Salamanca. |

Thanks for your comments chaps. We had a great stay in the city and it is well worth a visit. |

The most evocative of places. Far more so than any of the battlefields, in my opinion. |
