The Castillo de Montánchez was a defensive castle that protected the trade routes of the Sierra de Montánchez. Spectacular views from the top of the old town and the beautiful scenery beyond. The castle was the center of many battles and passed from Christian to Arab hands on several occasions. Both leaving their architectural signature in the impressive historical monument.

One of the jewels of Cáseres, the historic center of Montánchez is a must-see. Located on a fortified hill that dominates the slopes of the Tagus and the Guadiana dominated by the magnificent walled castle. Walking up towards the castle, you will be greeted by traditional narrow streets and medieval squares.
