Mirabel Castle or Peña del Acero, is a defensive building whose origins date back to the 15th century. For decades it fell into oblivion and became a secluded ruin that few people visited. However, in recent times it has become one of the main attractions of this area of ​​the Monfragüe Biosphere Reserve. Despite its ruined state, the castle is perfectly equipped to walk through its interior with different stairs and metal viewpoints from which we can enjoy wonderful views of the Extremadura pasture and the mountains that surround the Tagus River. The castle also has a large number of information panels inside that will help us better understand the place where we are. The visit is free and you can leave your car parked in the parking lot next to the picnic area located at its feet. The climb is a bit steep, especially the last few meters, although once at the top the effort will be worth it.

Rosenborg Castle

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.
