About Belmonte Castle
In the quiet La Mancha town of Belmonte rises a castle that seems straight from a knightly romance. Belmonte Castle, a 15th-century fortress-palace, was built by Don Juan Pacheco, first Marquis of Villena, and remains exceptionally well-preserved. Shaped roughly like a six-pointed star, with a curtain wall radiating out to six turrets, Belmonte has a unique design that provided both defense and grandeur.
