    Hiking

    This unfortunately half-dilapidated building is in a prime location. Although it was never a "Castillo", the former monitoring station was given this name. The Castillo Santa Catalina was built in 1931 in the style of a 16th century castle. The huge tower looks a bit too big.

    Unfortunately, the entire area is cordoned off, and plans for restoration have been with the responsible office for years. A really curious landmark in the city.

    Hiking

    This Renaissance-style castle-palace dates from 1929, although it was completed in 1933. Due to its elevated position and strategic control over the Isla de las Palomas and the Castillo de Guzmán el Bueno, the hill soon began to have military use.
    In 1771 the hermitage was converted into a gunpowder warehouse and during the War of Independence the English demolished it and began work on a fort for artillery, of which there are still remains.

    Everything is still blocked, what a pity.
