It's a shame that castles as impressive as this one are in this deplorable state, falling apart. Even so, entering through one of its windows, exploring its enclosures and admiring its fortifications is worth it.

Beautiful castle, very abandoned, its Germans and walls are like a fairy tale, a shame

An impressive castle with a lot of history. It is incredible to visit such beautiful corners in small towns far from Spain, Caracena has a treasure here. The castle is quite large and was prepared for the use of artillery. It had a triple wall, although now only two and a section of the outermost wall remain. I recommend visiting Caracena and its castle. Of course, THE CASTLE TRACK IS NOT PASSABLE BY CAR EVEN IF GOOGLE SENDS YOU THERE

Wonderful castle. 600m from the village. The most amazing views.

Siempre nos emociona ir a Caracena, y nunca puede faltar una visita a su increíble castillo. Un lugar altamente pedagógico en el que se puede leer con gran facilidad todos los ingredientes propios de una arquitectura militar del tardomedioevo español. Desde la resolución programática distributiva hasta su lógica defensiva. Un lugar fantástico para poder narrar y mostrar a los más pequeños como se articulaban dichas fortalezas. Sin renunciar, en ningún momento, a un “genio del lugar” sin precedentes, que nos consigue conmover por su sublime carga romántica y por su capacidad sugestiva. La virtud de llevarnos a aquella época sin ataduras o reminiscencias de lo contemporáneo.
