The Moron de la Frontera Castle is located on an elevated hill in the town of Morón de la Frontera, from where the countryside and the southern Sierra Sevillana can be seen.
There also existed Tartessos and Roman settlements, but it was the Arabs who in 711 began to reinforce the remains of the existing Roman and Visigoth walls. In the 10th century when Morón, after the dismemberment of the Caliphate of Córdoba, is converted in the Kingdom of Taifa, and the castle reachs its major prominence. It was then reconquered by King Fernando III “The Saint”. From the middle of the 16th century the castle was inhabited as a habitual residence in turn by the Counts of Ureña, The Dukes of Osuna, etc.
During the XVII and XVIII centuries the castle was practically abandoned, followed by a period of ransacking and destruction ending in 1810.
References:Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
