Palazuelos, Guadalajara, Spain, Spain

Castle of Palazuelos in Palazuelos, Guadalajara province, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, is a mid-15th century castle and complete town walls commissioned around 1454 by Iñigo López de Mendoza, the first Marquis of Santillana, and attributed to architect Juan Guas.

The fortress integrates into the northern muralla enclosing the entire village, featuring cylindrical corner towers, a large tower keep linked to the eastern wall, a barbican with drawbridge, and Mendoza family coats of arms over ogival arch gates, blending defensive strength with noble residence amid regional power struggles.

Passed to heirs like the Princess of Éboli, briefly repurposed as a flour factory in the 20th century, it underwent archaeological restoration from 1998-2002 and remains private property declared a cultural asset.
