The Castle-Palace of Castronuevo, also known as Castle of Rivilla de Barajas, is an impressive fortification located in the municipality of Rivilla de Barajas, in the province of Ávila, within the autonomous community of Castilla y León. Although its current use is null, its history and structure reveal its former greatness. It was erected by Gil de Vivero before 1481, on the site of Castronuevo, and later remodeled by his son before selling it in 1489 to the Duke of Alba. The castle has three circular towers and two rectangular towers. Despite its age and danger of collapse, this castle remains a fascinating testament to medieval history and architecture. 🏰🌟

The church dates back to the time of the Catholic Monarchs, specifically the 16th century. Its main entrance presents a spectacular doorway attributed to the sculptor and architect Juan Rodríguez. This doorway follows the classic scheme, with a semicircular arch flanked by two columns with Corinthian capitals. On the entablature and triangular pediment, you will find granite sculptures representing mythological beings and gargoyles.

Church with three wide naves that began to be built in the s. XV, being in its day one of the best of the time in the province. If you visit the town at Christmas, you should know that it is part of the Moraña Nativity Scene Route.

Surrounded by communication routes and in the middle of a large plain is this huge walled castle that still rules its walls and towers that can be seen from afar. It is worth passing by and enjoying the views of the castle.

In what is called Las Capellanas we find the remains of the church in Castronuevo, close to a small pond that is there and where from afar, you can see the castle of Castronuevo.

Possibly built from the chapel of the deserted area of San Juan de Robledo and which is located right next to the road. Beautiful building!

Small town located between Ávila and Salamanca, and located on a vast plain far from the south of the province which is much more mountainous.
