Peña Bermeja Castle, Medieval castle in Brihuega, Spain.

The castle stands on a high position above the Tajuña River, featuring Proto-Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Originally built as a palace for King al-Mamun of Toledo, the fortress later became a residence for the archbishops of Toledo until the 16th century.

The structure represents the evolution of Spanish military architecture, combining defensive capabilities with residential elements typical of medieval religious authorities.

The Tourism Office of Brihuega organizes guided tours of the castle, with access available through prior arrangement at specific contact numbers.

During the War of Spanish Succession, the castle provided strategic support to Philip V's troops in their military operations against Brihuega.
