Moorish castle from the 10th century that in its time was a palace and where Fernando the Catholic himself set up his camp in the war against Granada.

The setting is very nice, but I don't think it looks like it can be visited, it is closed with a welded iron gate.

The Tower is restored and its interior closed and inaccessible. Next to it are the remains of a cistern and other structures in ruins.

An incredible place with history where Trail Castillo Anzur will be held shortly and aims to be a test that will last in the Cordovan calendar of CxM and FAM tests... Ideal for hiking, trail, bike... In day and night activities.. Which shows that this little corner has a great story to tell with the incomparable setting of sunrise and sunset... Enjoy it and know its routes...

The road is simple without more. It is not difficult to do walking with good shoes. The castle is a tower that can only be seen from the outside.

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.
