Arévalo Castle, Medieval fortress in Arévalo, Spain.

The castle presents a pentagonal layout with a central Tower of Tribute, constructed primarily from brick in the regional Mudejar architectural tradition.

Built during the fifteenth century, the structure served as a state prison under the Catholic Monarchs, holding notable prisoners including Prince William of Orange.

The castle now contains an exhibition named 'Castillo y silo' which presents information about the building's military history and its later use as grain storage.

Visitors can access the castle from Friday through Sunday between 10:00 and 20:00, with advance reservations required through the provided telephone numbers.

The structure underwent transformation from a medieval fortress to a cemetery before the Ministry of Agriculture converted it into a grain silo in the 1950s.
