The Manzanares El Real Castle, outside of Madrid, Spain is a beautiful example of a well-preserved medieval fortress.
Despite dating to the fifteenth century, this Renaissance style structure is still prominent and well-defined.
During a reconstruction, elements of Gothic, Moorish, and Mudejar architecture were added, making this one of Spain's premier castles.
The castle's thick walls and towers made it a formidable stronghold.
The castle rises in layers from the outer walls to the crown towers.
