This inner church dates from the 14th century, while the surrounding wall appears to be from the 15th century.

Very nice castle that can be easily reached by car. The castle is very well renovated. The entrance fee is 3 € (2 € reduced).

Todo apunta a que aquel castillo, hasta hace relativamente poco en ruinas, se construyó sobre otro más antiguo de origen romano y en el que, según la leyenda, el rey Alfonso VI mantuvo un romance con la bellísima princesa Zaida, hija política de Abenabeth (rey de Sevilla, Muhámmad al-Mutámid). La bella dama se casó con el rey castellano, poco antes de la conquista de Toledo, se acomodó en la corte castellana, renunció al islamismo y se bautizó en Burgos con el nombre de Isabel.
Muy recomendable si te gusta la Historia y quieres disfrutar de un paisaje y un entorno...
