    Vélez-Blanco Castle, located in the municipality of the same name in the province of Almería (Andalusia), is a jewel of the Spanish Renaissance that combines military and palatial elements.
    Construction began in 1506 by Pedro Fajardo y Chacón, the first Marquis of Vélez, on the remains of an ancient Islamic citadel.

      The Castle of Vélez Blanco is an emblematic example of Spanish Renaissance architecture. It combines the military aspect with the palatial aspect in a building that constitutes a sign of identity for the Almeria region of Los Vélez.
