Castillo de Villarejo de Salvanes
Villarejo de Salvanés, Spain, Spain
Castillo de Villarejo de Salvanés is a striking medieval keep tower located in the town of Villarejo de Salvanés, in the Community of Madrid, Spain.
Originally built by the Order of Santiago in the 13th century on an ancient Muslim watchtower, it protected the northern entrance to their territories on the Southern Meseta and later served as the seat of the Encomienda Mayor de Castilla from the 15th century until the 19th century.
The fortress features a square base about 25 meters wide with a central tower roughly 16 meters square and 22 meters high, reinforced by eight cylindrical buttresses that enhance its imposing presence.
Reforms in the 15th and 16th centuries transformed it into a stately stronghold, and today it houses the local tourist office and interpretation center, offering panoramic views from the top while anchoring the town's Historic-Artistic Site status since 1974.
