    In the 11th century, during the reign of Alfonso VI, a charter was granted to the town of Arévalo. From then on, documentary references abound about this place. Although it had periods of lordly rule, it generally depended on the Crown (being a royal estate), which explains the presence of members of the royal family in the town.

      Castle that was used by the Catholic kings and that was later used as a prison due to its proximity to the capital of the state, Madrid.

        Castle fortress located at the most extreme part of the triangle formed by the confluence of the Adaja and Arevalillo rivers, which serve as defensive ditches.

        It was rebuilt in the second half of the 15th century by order of Álvaro de Zúñiga, Duke of Béjar, although it subsequently underwent important reforms at the beginning of the 16th century, when the fortress was in the hands of the Catholic Monarchs.

        The Castle is worth visiting for its good condition, and it also has a very interesting exhibition.
