Description

Montánchez Castle was built in the 12th century by Almohad occupation. Three water cisterns still exist from that age. After Christian Reconquista, under the administration of the Order of Santiago, a large number of elements were added to the castle, including the wall which surrounds the enclosure. Additionally, in the interior you will still find the keep and the wine cellars, and on the outside a pond and a hermitage built during the 17th century.
