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.

Torrijos gives its name to its region in the plain between the Tajo and Alberche rivers. It is the natural center of trade in goods and services in this area of Toledo. With its population of almost 13,000 inhabitants, it has all the services of a small city and has direct communications by train and bus with the main cities of Toledo and Extremadura. Its monuments, such as the palace of Peter I or its collegiate church, testify to its historical importance since the Middle Ages.

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.

Torrijos has an enormous architectural heritage, among which it is worth highlighting the train station, the parish church (with a very old organ and elements brought from Medina Azahara), the palace of Pedro I or even its more contemporary Center for the Elderly.

The ruins of the castle of San Silvestre date from the 15th century and it was built by Commander Gutierre de Cárdenas. Unlike the various castles that surround it, this one lacks a keep, although its façade and layout are similar to the others.

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.
