Short History
Probably built by Abderraman I, this Moorish castle was altered on the 14th
and 16th centuries and later in the 19th and 20th centuries.
It has a square plan with six towers and it is a fine example of Spanish
moorish architecture.
The Castilnovo Castle hosted the Catholic kings and
was later the prison for the sons of Francis I, the French king after being captured by the
Spanish at the battle of Pavia in 1525. In the 19th century, it was the property of the
Hohenzollern family.
