Description

Segura de León Castle was built by the Order of Santiago between the 13th and 16th centuries and became the abode of the Encomienda Mayor de León. In spite of its deteriorated condition, some parts of the walls still remain, as well as traces of a moat in front of the main gate and the towers on the main facade.
