Nestled between the Sierra de Guadarrama (mountains) and the Santillana reservoir sits this majestic, medieval palace-fortress, made entirely of granite. There are six floors and a gothic, central patio. Construction began in 1475. Two restaurations occurred in the 20th C. Various scenes from the movie, El Cid (1961) were filmed here.
