                    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.
