Castle of Aulencia, Medieval castle in Villanueva de la Cañada, Spain.
The Castle of Aulencia stands at the summit of a hill where the Aulencia River joins the Guadarrama River, featuring six cylindrical towers.
During the 14th century, the castle became the property of García Fernández before passing to Álvarez de Toledo in the court of John II.
The structure represents Spanish noble Mudejar architecture and holds status as a designated cultural heritage site requiring preservation measures.
The rectangular enclosure measures 25 meters on its longest side, with the main tower reaching a height of 20 meters.
The European Space Astronomy Centre now stands near this medieval fortress, creating a striking contrast between historical and modern scientific facilities.
