Magacela Castle is believed to be of Roman origin. The Torre del Homenaje was built in the late 12th century by Moors. The castle was restored after Christian Reconquista in 1235. It was strengthened als on the 16th century.
On your visit you will be able to see the preserved remains of the keep, other towers such as the gatehouse, and some traces of the wall, as well as remains of the old church of Santa Ana, the primitive parish church of Magacela and the cemetery.
Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
