Miranda del Castañar is a municipality located in the province of Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain.

[3] The town of Miranda del Castañar is labeled "Historic-Artistic Grouping" for being part of the Spanish national system of heritage listing.

To the west stands the Gate of Nuestra Señora de la Cuesta (Our Lady of the slope), the town's patron saint whose festivity is celebrated on either 8 or 9 September.

There is a coat of arms belonging to the House of Zuñiga engraved in the westernmost part of the castle.

Currently, the castle belongs to the town council, but it first belonged to the Duchess of Alba, who also owns the title of Countess of Miranda del Castañar and donated the castle to the town council in 1954.
