Castle of La Alameda, Medieval castle in Alameda de Osuna district, Madrid, Spain
The rectangular castle features rounded corners, two distinct towers - one quadrangular and one cylindrical - and spans approximately 200 square meters inside.
The House of Mendoza constructed this fortification between 1431 and 1476, which later served as a refuge for political supporters after the Battle of Toro.
The castle functions as a municipal museum since 2010, operating under the Madrid City Council's Museum Department as part of the Museum of Origins.
Located at coordinates 40.458719, -3.5925, the castle remains one of the few preserved medieval fortifications in Madrid, alongside Viñuelas Castle.
Archaeological excavations revealed a settlement dating back to 2000 BCE beneath the castle, indicating the location's strategic importance along the Ebro Valley route.
