Castle of Pioz, Medieval fortress in Pioz, Guadalajara, Spain
The castle features a square layout with three corner towers and a prominent D-shaped keep at its northwestern section, surrounded by a dry moat.
Cardinal Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza initiated the construction in 1468, but transferred ownership to the Gomez family who completed it by the end of 15th century.
The castle received recognition as Bien de Interés Cultural in 1990, marking its importance in Spanish architectural and military heritage.
Located at coordinates 40°27′53″N 3°10′17″W, the castle stands near the village marketplace and requires careful navigation due to its deteriorating condition.
The castle design reflects Italian palace influences, as Cardinal Mendoza intended to create a luxurious residence that combined comfort with defensive capabilities.
