The Castle of the Counts of Orgaz, is from the 14th century, possibly built on a previous one, it is a beautiful example of a residential fortress and of magnificent conservation. It is rectangular in shape and finished with beautiful battlements with marvelous cantilevered sentry boxes on the corners. The Torre del Homenaje has a semicircular apse corresponding to a chapel that breaks the rectilinear structure of the complex.

Medieval fortress built in the 14th century by order of Alvar Pérez de Guzmán, Lord of Orgaz, on another 12th century building, and renovated in the 15th century. It was the residence of the Ruiz de Toledo and the Pérez de Guzmán, lords of Orgaz. During the communal uprising it was used by the residents of the town, their supporters, as a refuge, being set on fire by the troops of Carlos I.

The castle is located in the center of the municipality, very close to the bullring. It is preserved in very good condition and is worth a visit. Opposite the castle is the tourist office where you can get more information.
