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

Located in the town center of Manzaneque, opposite the Town Hall, in the province of Toledo, its construction is primarily attributed to Don Íñigo de Ávalos (15th century), although the heraldic shields of earlier lineages (Figueroa and Orozco) suggest a possible earlier foundation. In the 14th century, it was owned by Doña María de Orozco and her husband, Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa. It later passed to Ávalos, and in 1487 was acquired by Álvarez de Toledo, secretary to the Catholic Monarchs. Abandoned and in ruins after the 16th and 17th centuries, it was restored in the early 20th century and remodeled in the 1970s, becoming a Site of Cultural Interest in 1985.

Pico de Noez, in the Sierra de Noez mountain range (municipality of Noez, Toledo), reaches an altitude of 1034 meters, making it the highest point in the central part of the province. It stands in isolation south of the Tagus River plain, within the Montes de Toledo mountain range. At the summit, there is a geodetic marker and a compass rose carved in granite, with inscriptions from the surrounding villages (Pulgar, Polán, Guadamur, etc.).

Mascaraque Castle is one of the town's main attractions. Origin: It was built in the 14th century on the site of an earlier Muslim fortification. Historical Owners: It was renovated by the Padilla family, who were associated with the Comuneros in the 15th century. Architecture: The keep is a prominent feature, which, according to tradition, was "demolish" (lowered) by order of the Catholic Monarchs after the Revolt of the Comuneros. Interesting Details: Pentacles or Seals of Solomon can be seen on its walls, symbols that fuel legends of protection and mystery. Current Status: It is privately owned, so the interior is not open to the public, but the exterior is impressive and well worth seeing.

Mascaraque stands out for its authentic and tranquil atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a historical getaway without the crowds. Its historical heritage—centered on the castle, the church, and several hermitages—offers a rich cultural experience alongside a friendly local life. The rural surroundings reinforce this feeling of disconnection: olive groves, vineyards, and nature trails complete the appeal. In short, a destination with its own unique identity, highly valuable for lovers of heritage and charming villages.

The view of Toledo from the Mirador del Valle road is considered one of the most iconic panoramas in Spain and, for many, the best way to admire the city. From this vantage point, you can appreciate the historic center surrounded by the Tagus River, which forms a meander that embraces the city. The Alcázar of Toledo dominates the upper part of the city. The Primate Cathedral, with its prominent Gothic tower, is also visible. Historic bridges such as the Alcántara Bridge and the San Martín Bridge are also prominent.

It is located next to the Tourist Information office.
