Malpica de Tajo is a town in Toledo that stands out for housing an impressive fortress of Arab origin, the castle of Malpica. Located in one of the meanders of the Tagus River, this beautiful municipality also has picturesque churches, hermitages and other monuments.

Malpica Castle is the most emblematic construction of the Toledo town of Malpica de Tajo. It is an impressive fortification of Arab origin built in the 14th century. Made of brick and surrounded by several moats and the waters of the Tagus, it stands out for the solidity and strength of its structure.

This castle, privately owned by the Duchy of Arion, is not open to the public and cannot be visited inside, although it is probably worth it since it has the peculiarity of having been continuously inhabited for centuries. The most we can do is surround it or observe it from the opposite bank of the river, which gives it an unusual atmosphere in the medieval architecture of the Iberian Peninsula.

Built by the Arabs in the 10th century as part of a set of defensive fortifications and later converted into a residential palace, the Malpica castle is one of the few in Spain that is located on the banks of a river, and in this case nothing less than the Tagus. Unfortunately it is private property and you cannot enter it, but it is nonetheless an attractive building that stands out when you cross the bridge to enter the town from where you will have the best views of it.

Domingo Pérez's crops are those of the Mediterranean trilogy: cereals, vines and olive trees. Among the places of interest in the municipality are the Town Hall, an example of popular civil architecture; the hermitage of La Soledad which, located on a small hillock between two paths, was built in 1770; and the parish church of the Immaculate Conception, in a "rural Mudejar" style.
