Castle of San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Medieval fortress in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Spain.

The Castle of San Martín de Valdeiglesias stands with its defensive walls, towers, and a prominent keep rising above the Sierra Oeste landscape.

Don Alvaro de Luna commissioned the construction of this military stronghold during the mid-fifteenth century to establish control over the region.

The castle maintains its position within the Network of Castles of Madrid, offering classical music concerts and equestrian displays throughout summer months.
