Fortress built in the 16th century. It was built by the Marquis de los Vélez, Pedro Fajardo, as a symbol of his power and wealth in the area.

The castle is a magnificent example of Spanish Renaissance architecture and is made up of two parts: the fortress and the palace. The fortress consists of two towers and a defensive wall, while the palace presents an impressive façade with decorative elements in the Gothic, Renaissance and Mudejar styles.

The castle has been recently restored and currently houses a museum dedicated to the archeology and history of the area. You can also enjoy panoramic views from the top of the towers and explore the network of underground tunnels that connect different parts of the castle.

Interesting Castle & Square, you can ride into the Castle for free. It's steep climb up but worth it. On the way down, go via the Plaza de la Constitución.
