Castle of Chinchilla, Medieval fortress in Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón, Spain.
The Castle of Chinchilla features six corner towers, steep defensive walls measuring 10 meters wide, and a 16-meter-deep surrounding moat.
Originally constructed during the Arab period, the castle underwent major modifications in the 15th century under the direction of Juan Pacheco, Marquis of Villena.
The castle walls display the coat of arms of the Marquis of Villena from 1576, representing the noble influence on regional architecture.
The exterior grounds remain accessible to visitors while the interior spaces undergo renovation work to preserve the historical structure.
The fortress served as a prison for Cesare Borgia in 1504, when he was confined within the Tower of Tribute.
