The castle is in ruins, but it's worth climbing for the panoramic views from its location.

Currently, it is not possible to climb to the castle because a tower has collapsed.

Located in the Plaza de la Constitución, in the historic Town Hall in the Neo-Mudéjar style, designed by Ezequiel Martín Martín and built between 1927–1928, with a striking brick facade, masonry panels, horseshoe arches and ceramic decorations, culminating in a circular tower topped with a bulbous dome (tiled, from 1930).

From any point approaching Almonacid de Toledo, and from dozens of kilometers away, the castle's silhouette can be seen perched on a promontory, as if still guarding the Camino de La Mancha. It is a fine example of a 14th-century castle, intended as a permanent residence for troops and as a military settlement for surveillance and defense.

The Town Hall is perhaps the most unique building in the municipality, representing a beautiful metaphor with its name and use. Its architect was Ezequiel Martín Martín, and its construction began in 1927 and was completed practically a year later in 1928. The tile-clad tower was completed in 1930.

Rolling tracks and climbs with beautiful scenery

The Almonacid Castle in Toledo is a Muslim building that was donated by Alfonso VI to the Toledo Cathedral. Its current configuration is due to the reforms carried out by Archbishop D. Pedro Tenorio in the 14th century and later it served as a prison for D. Alfonso de Gijón y Noreña, bastard son of Enrique II. In the 16th century, D. Pedro Gumiel commented that the fortress needed urgent repairs. In the 18th century it passed into the hands of the counts of Mora and during the War of Independence, in the 19th century (1809), it was a refuge for the troops of General Venegas, with the Battle of Almonacid taking place at its feet, which ended with the capture of the castle by the French. In 1839 the mayor of Almonacid allowed the residents of the town to use the material from which it was made for private use, further accentuating its ruin. Today the castle is property of the City Council and access is free.
