Tips

Alvaro Hernandez

This is the best preserved castle in the community of Madrid. It is also known as the Mendoza castle because it was this family that built it to reinforce their dominance and influence in 15th-century Castile. Juan Guas, who was the architect of the Catholic Monarchs, participated in its construction.

Its wall testifies to its function as a fortress while its large interior rooms tell of the arrival of new times with less warriors and more palatial and social life. It currently has an interpretation center of the Middle Ages and it carries out outreach activities on this important period in Spain and other cultural activities.

The history and image of Manzanares El Real will always be linked to the Mendozas and their unmistakable castle, one of the "jewels" not only of Madrid's military architecture but of all the medieval architecture of the Kingdom of Castile.
