Castillo de Guadalerzas, Los Yébenes
Castillo de Guadalerzas, Los Yébenes, Medieval fortress in Los Yébenes, Spain.
The castle features a quadrangular layout with four corner towers and a central courtyard, positioned on a hilltop overlooking a mountain pass.
Initially constructed during Arab rule, the castle changed hands between Muslims and Christians until its final Christian conquest following the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212.
In 1572, Philip II of Spain sold the castle to Cardinal Juan Martínez Silíceo, who transformed it into an educational institution for noble young women.
Reaching the castle requires a 20-minute walk across private land from the nearest road, and the interior remains inaccessible without special permission.
The structure served as a hospital for three different military orders: the Calatrava, the Templars, and the Knights Hospitaller during the medieval period.
