Castillo de Monroy, Medieval castle in Monroy, Spain.
The fortress consists of three concentric enclosures with an exterior barbican, inner courtyard, and main building with four corner towers.
King Ferdinand IV granted privileges to nobleman Hernán Pérez de Monroy in 1309 to establish and construct the castle in this location.
The castle features Latin inscriptions and decorative elements, including pre-Roman zoomorphic sculptures known as verracos found within its walls.
The castle offers guided tours at 7 euros for adults and 3 euros for children, with payments accepted through BIZUM payment system.
In the 20th century, painter Pablo Palazuelo acquired the castle in 1970 and conducted a decade-long restoration project.
