Of very remote origin, it is already mentioned in the Arab incursions through Castile in the 10th century, in its current structure the castle appears at the end of the 14th century and at the beginning of the 15th it was a Gothic building in the hands of the Sandoval family.

The castle of Portillo stands on top of a hill that dominates Tierra de Pinares. Built in the 14th century and restored in the 15th century, the castle was the scene of the arrest and imprisonment of Álvaro de Luna. It represents the power and wealth of its lords, with a square structure, keep, barbican and three fortified gates. In its parade ground there is a well more than 30 meters deep.
