15th-16th Century Castle Opening Hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Closed Monday and Tuesday. This Gothic-Renaissance castle-palace, associated with the Mendoza family, has a pentagonal floor plan. At its corners rise towers of varying shapes and sizes; three stand out: the western tower, circular; the southern tower, rectangular; and the eastern tower, octagonal on the exterior and hexagonal on the interior. All are connected by a wall-walk. The towers and walls are crowned with striking crenellations. It has two gates, the main gate and a false gate, both with pointed arches and defended by machicolations. Inside, the Renaissance arcaded courtyard is particularly noteworthy, featuring a double gallery and beautiful Plateresque plasterwork decoration on the upper level. A passageway in the western wall once connected the castle to the church.

It's a beautiful town in the province of Zaragoza, bordering Soria. It has an old castle, now a beautiful viewpoint, caves beneath the castle hill, a beautiful and large church, and a beautiful square with a statue of its most distinguished son, Saint Pascual Bailon. The town hall has a very old façade. A plaque commemorates Vila Real's gratitude to Saint Pascual Bailon and the town. On the town's pediment, paintings commemorate the miracles of Saint Pascual when he was a shepherd as a child. Before and after the town, there are several peirones (stone crosses) that commemorate the popular saint, Saint Pascual.

It is worth a short stop to enjoy at least the exterior of the Cetina castle-palace.

The castle of Monreal de Ariza was built by order of the Aragonese king Alfonso I, the fighter, to defend his border from Muslim and Castilian attacks. Today in ruins, the vision of this fortress must have commanded a lot of respect among those who wanted to take it.

With the mission of defending the Kingdom of Aragon from the Kingdom of Castile, this Castle is located on top of a hill overlooking the town with the natural defense of the Henar River. All these castles in the Calatayud region were very important during the War of the Two Pedros. It is currently in ruins.
