A Look at the Castle
This castle was built a long time ago, in the 15th century. It shows off two cool styles of building: Gothic and Mudéjar. Gothic style often has tall arches and big windows, while Mudéjar style mixes Christian and Islamic art.
The castle has a rectangular shape. It also features seven towers, and each one is a different shape! Some are round, some are pentagonal (five-sided), and others are square. All parts of the castle are made from stone, which makes it look very strong and old.
Today, the inside of the castle is mostly in ruins. But even so, its strong walls and towers still stand tall, showing us what it once looked like.
