Castle with towers at the corners of the structure. The ancient Roman road that connected Italy to Spain passes through here. Information table on site.

Fortification located in the town of Leiva, La Rioja. It is a fortified palace with a rectangular floor plan, with a tower located at each corner. Three of the towers are octagonal, and the one on the southeast corner, considered the keep, is decagonal in plan and taller.

The origin of the castle was a tower erected in 1335 by Juan Martínez de Leiva. After sinking, in 1478 the construction of the castle began. The building has undergone numerous modifications, especially from the 17th century, in which it abandoned its defensive character and became solely residential. Later, already in the 20th century, it was used as an agricultural warehouse and offices. Starting in the year 2000, a reconstruction of elements such as the southern part of the west canvas and the southeast tower began.
