Granadilla Castle originates from the 9th century and was rebuilt after Reconquista in the 12th century. The current castle was recreated by Don García Álvarez de Toledo in 1473-1478.
Today Granadilla is a ghost town. In 1955, during the Franco regime, its residents had to leave when the Council of Ministers ordered a reservoir to be built nearby. Currently, the area is a summer campsite for young people and tourists.
The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
