Surprise to find such a cool castle in such a small town. A pity that it is private and cannot be visited.

In fact, it bears the arms of the Valderrávanos and the Guzmanes. It is also known as the Castle of the Duke of Montellano, to which Felipe V gave the county of Saldueña in the 18th century. It stands at one end of the town, constituting a good example of a castle-palace built with brick and rammed earth (mortar), curbed with brick, a material with which its corners are also reinforced, which relates it to Mudejar architecture, which that relates it to Mudejar architecture.

Rectangular in plan with sentry boxes in three of the angles and in the fourth it has a large square keep, with pointed battlements; all segmental arches.
