Castle of Cogolludo, Medieval castle in Cogolludo, Spain.

The pentagonal castle features cylindrical towers at its corners and maintains substantial walls despite its deteriorated condition.

In 1176, King Alfonso VIII transferred ownership of the castle to the Order of Calatrava, marking a significant period in its military history.

The Castle of Cogolludo stands as a testament to medieval Spanish defensive architecture and remains protected as a Cultural Heritage site.

Located less than an hour from Madrid, the castle sits on a 1,300 square meter plot with an additional adjacent area of 37,567 square meters.

The castle includes the Tower of the Bell, dating from the ninth century, which contains an original brick half-dome in its interior.
