Moorish castle from the 10th century that in its time was a palace and where Fernando the Catholic himself set up his camp in the war against Granada.

The setting is very nice, but I don't think it looks like it can be visited, it is closed with a welded iron gate.

The Tower is restored and its interior closed and inaccessible. Next to it are the remains of a cistern and other structures in ruins.

An incredible place with history where Trail Castillo Anzur will be held shortly and aims to be a test that will last in the Cordovan calendar of CxM and FAM tests... Ideal for hiking, trail, bike... In day and night activities.. Which shows that this little corner has a great story to tell with the incomparable setting of sunrise and sunset... Enjoy it and know its routes...

The road is simple without more. It is not difficult to do walking with good shoes. The castle is a tower that can only be seen from the outside.

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.
