Barcience Castle is a medieval fortress located in the municipality of Barcience, in the province of Toledo. It stands on a hill that dominates the surroundings, offering a strategic view of the surrounding landscape.

Very quiet in this beautiful town in Spain

We can tour its large courtyard, and the almost square plan that it presents, indicating by its size and the time in which it was erected, that it served as a residence rather than a defensive fort. Two interesting cubes are indications of the barrier and the moat that protected the entrance door to the enclosure, and of which there are no remains. Three towers, two circular, another square, and the homage, make up the rest of the enclosure. Juan de Silva, the first Count of Cifuentes, began the construction of the fortress in the 14th century, which would be completed by his grandson, with the same name. It was endowed with artillery and garrison in the 16th century.

The church of San Esteban Protomártir stands out, built during the 17th and 18th centuries; the hermitage of the Santísimo Cristo de la Sala; the Loranque farm, a farmhouse from the end of the 18th century; and the open-air sculpture museum, which exhibits works by contemporary authors at various pedestrian points.

It is almost impossible not to cross a highway to reach this town which, being so well connected by road with Toledo, Talavera and Madrid, has been chosen by many people in recent decades as a place of residence. It is an excellent place to make a stop as it has all kinds of services and is also quite multicultural, so the gastronomic offer is quite wide.

Known as the "rampant lion", the castle of Barcience was built in the 15th century by the Silva family, at that time they had the title of Counts of Cifuentes. It is preserved in great condition and its access is free and free. Despite the fact that the interior is abandoned, its walls and the heraldic shield of the Silva family stand out, whose figure is that of the rampant lion.
