Castle of Villaviciosa de Odón, Medieval fortress in Villaviciosa de Odón, Spain.
The stone castle features four circular towers at its corners, incorporating both military and residential architectural elements from the 15th century.
Built in 1496 by the Marquis of Moya, the castle was reconstructed in 1583 by royal architect Juan de Herrera following its destruction.
The castle served as the residence of King Ferdinand VI during his final days and later housed Spain's first forestry engineering school.
Visitors can join guided tours every Thursday with advance registration through the local council to explore the castle's interior spaces.
The castle now functions as the Spanish Air Force Archives, storing historical military aviation documents within its medieval walls.
