Castle of Grajal de Campos

The castle features a square layout with four round towers at each corner, displaying advanced military architecture from the 16th century.

Construction began under Hernando de Vega in the early 1500s over a 10th-century foundation and was completed by his son Juan de Vega y Acuña.

The castle represents a shift in military architecture, incorporating design elements specifically adapted for defense against artillery attacks.

Visitors can access the castle Tuesday through Sunday during summer months, with admission fees of 7 euros for regular tickets.

The fortress maintains an underground passage that connects to a Renaissance palace within the village of Grajal de Campos.
