This marvelous 15th century fortification stands on the hill of San Cristóbal and belongs to the Gothic style. A medieval jewel, which is worth visiting if you want to take a trip back in time.

The castle was built in 1456 by order of Juan Pacheco, a prominent nobleman during the reign of Henry IV.

Its architectural style combines Gothic and Mudejar elements.

It has a peculiar triangular plan and a strategic location on the top of a hill.

Over the centuries, the castle has witnessed historical events, from visits by the Catholic Monarchs to restorations and cultural events.

Today, the castle hosts exhibitions, dramatized tours, medieval combat tournaments and the impressive Trebuchet Park, which displays full-scale siege engines. 😊🏰

Built in the 15th century by order of the first Marquis of Villena, Don Juan Pacheco, it is located on the San Cristóbal hill.

Currently the castle is owned by the Ducal House of Peñaranda y Montijo, which through a management company chaired by the Count of Montalvo, Mr. Javier Fitz-James Stuart de Soto, has carried out a final rehabilitation between 2008 and 2016 with which has become a museum and also hosts various events. In the month of May/June, the Historical Recreation Days are held in the Castle, which allow us to see the life of warriors, artisans, doctors, monks, lords or peasants. National and international medieval combat tournaments are also held, a spectacular contact sport with period weapons and armor.
