History and description

It was built from scratch in the 15th century by Pedro López de Ayala, although works continued beyond the turn of the century. Erected on a hill to the East of the urban nucleus of Guadamur, it consists of a square main body, with circular towers and a larger ortogonal keep, standing 30 metre high. It was restored from a previous state of ruin following its acquisition by the Baron of Cuatro Torres in 1887.
