The town of Nogales was incorporated into the lordship of Feria in 1395 after its purchase by Gómez I Suárez de Figueroa, the first lord of Feria. In the mid-15th century, the repopulation of the locality began, and the construction of the castle to protect its inhabitants commenced.
Above the gate of the homage tower, you can find a coat of arms of the Figueroa family and another of the Manuel family, along with an inscription indicating that the fortress was built by the order of Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa, the son of Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, in 1458.
On the gate of the walled enclosure, there are two more coats of arms, one of the Figueroa-Manuel family and another of the Osorio and Rojas family. These coats of arms were placed in 1464 by Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, the son of Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa.
The military use of the building continued over time and was employed during conflicts with the French and Portuguese. Although it did not fall into a state of ruin, the passage of time and neglect deteriorated the structure until the Junta de Extremadura decided to restore it in the late 20th century.
References: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.
