    Manzanares el Real Castle, also known as Mendoza Castle:
    Built in 1475 by order of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, 1st Duke of the Infantado, on the site of a former Romanesque-Mudéjar church.
    Its architecture is Isabelline Gothic, with a square floor plan, cylindrical towers, and an octagonal keep.
    It served as the palatial residence of the powerful Mendoza family, who even established a literary court there.
    Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1949. Today it houses a Medieval Interpretation Center, with exhibits of tapestries, armor, furniture, and audiovisual presentations about life in the Middle Ages.

    An impressive symbol of Spain's medieval history, with its imposing architecture and strategic location next to the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains.
