Castle of San Silvestre, Maqueda, Medieval castle in Maqueda, Spain.
The square-shaped fortress features cylindrical towers with conical bases at the corners and contains underground vaulted galleries extending along its perimeter.
Gutierre de Cárdenas, Commander of the Order of Santiago, ordered the construction of this defensive structure during the second half of the 15th century.
The castle entrance displays a quartered coat of arms representing the marriage between the Cárdenas family and Teresa Enriquez, dated after 1470.
Visitors can reach the castle from Novés by taking the path on the left after crossing the San Silvestre stream bridge.
The battlements incorporate double merlons made of masonry and brick, with granite cross-shaped arrow slits for both frontal and crossed shots.
