The walled medieval town of Cabrejas del Pinar was the leader of its Community of Burgs and Land and there are some traces left of the walled enclosure and fortress that protected the locals. The castle was built in stone on top of a high rock possibly between the 13th and 14th century.
Some of the walls, doors and the keep are still visible which helps understand how the fortress’ layout once was. The quadrangular keep was built in stone masonry and reinforced with ashlar on the corners. On some of the higher floors, you can still see wood fixed in holes that supported the wooden floors on each of the four stories. The access door can still be seen and is located on the south-east wall defended by watchtowers and an opening.
On the eastern part of the walled enclosure, there is still a circular watchtower placed there possibly in the 10th century in order to have better visual control over the Caliphate’s territories.

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.
