Spanish Castles

Fuensaldana - Valladolid Province

This medieval castle looks more like an ancient Roman desert fort, as it red and yellow bricked walls rise from the Spanish plains. An impressive keep with four corner towers dominates this castle and a smaller torre de homenaje set in the north wall.

Access to the castle was made through a simple, detachable wooden drawbridge. Don Alfonso Perez de Vivero, the treasurer of King John II, built this castle in the 15th century.
