    Undoubtedly an icon of the city and that is part of the history linked to the Catholic Monarchs. The origins of the Castle go back to the 12th century, when at that time King Fernando II of León ordered the construction of a simple watchtower for observation and defense. Today the ruins can be visited and deserve to do so.

      In its beginnings, it was a modest watchtower built by King Ferdinand II of León. Despite the devastation during the time of King Henry IV of Castile and the Communities, the 1st Duke of Alba de Tormes, García Álvarez de Toledo y Carrillo de Toledo, rebuilt it and turned it into his private palace.
