Portillo Castle
Portillo, Spain, Spain
Portillo Castle is a Gothic-style medieval fortress crowning a hilltop in Portillo, Valladolid province, Castilla y León, Spain, with construction spanning the 14th to 15th centuries under figures like Infante Tello and later the Counts of Benavente.
Originally a palace-like structure fortified with outer barriers, moats, and a distinctive D-shaped tower by 1470, it housed notable prisoners including Álvaro de Luna before his execution and King Juan II during turbulent Castilian civil wars.
Now owned by the University of Valladolid and declared a cultural heritage site in 1931, it features guided tours, photo exhibits in its tower, and panoramic views for a modest entry fee.
