As our guide remarked to us during our visit to this site, when history progressed and Spain chose to have one, instead of many kings, there was no need for the number of castles that dot the landscape. So many fell into disrepair, among them this one. At one point in its history it was occupied by Moors, and the remaining towers (two out of the original five) offer a glimpse of the unusual architecture. Instead of being square, the tower is triangular. It’s also very plain, with holes on the sides from the placement of the long pieces of wood which held the blocks in place until they dried during construction. Climb the narrow steps to the top of the tower (not hard to do, just watch your step) and you’ll be rewarded with some incredible views. While visiting the castle a look at the church devoted to Mary Magdalene is worth your time. The marble organ is something to see and hear - even though it is still unfinished. This is a wonderful, historic site which is as popular with locals as it is with tourists.

Worth visiting, as only Spanish triangular Tower left. Not a lot left to see but worth a snoop around, steep stairs to tower but the views are astonishing
