Castle of Guadamur

It was built from scratch in the 15th century by Pedro López de Ayala, although works continued beyond the turn of the century.^[1] Erected on a hill to the East of the urban nucleus of Guadamur,^[2] it consists of a square main body, with circular towers and a larger ortogonal keep,^[3] standing 30 metre high.^[4]

It was restored from a previous state of ruin following its acquisition by the Baron of Cuatro Torres in 1887.^[5]
