Castillo de la Mota Description
Above the town is the 15th century Castillo de la Mota, one of the finest castles in Spain. Brick-built, it was erected by Fernando Carreño in 1440. It was a favorite residence of Isabella the Catholic, who died in the castle. Her daughter Joan the Mad also frequently stayed here. Cesare Borgia (César Borja) was imprisoned in the keep from 1504 to 1506.
