Puñoenrostro Castle is an impressive medieval fortress located in Seseña (Toledo), although it is also associated with Torrejón de Velasco (Madrid) due to its proximity and recent restoration projects.
Built in the 14th century, it was granted by Henry IV to Diego Arias de Ávila, his accountant and secretary.
His descendants were named Counts of Puñoenrostro under Charles I.
In 1862, the castle was sold along with its pastureland.

Fortification from the 14th century in which its tower of homage stands out, 35 meters high. It is surrounded by a moat, which could only be crossed by a bridge. It also has the remains of a second wall surrounding the central enclosure. Its state of conservation is very good. Currently the castle is private property and it is impossible to access its surroundings
