Castle

The village has a medieval castle. The ruined building is open to the public. The structure has a perimeter of about 220 metres. It may date from the 12th century, but it appears to have replaced an older castle of Visigothic or Islamic origin. Set on a hill-top, the castle has visual connection with fortifications at the neighbouring settlements of Mora de Toledo and Orgaz.[2]
