Nice remains of a castle located in an imposing place. Easy walk from town. You may see vultures "watching".

Rock castle that defended the border of Castile with the Kingdom of Aragon. It is worth going up and seeing the views A pity that the Junta de Castilla y León does not consolidate its walls.

Château du Lude

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.
