Castle of Villagarcía de Campos (Valladolid)

Eastern view of the castle

The castle-palace of Doña Magdalena de Ulloa was built around 1336, during the border struggles between the kingdoms of León and Castile. In its time it was a major work, currently consisting of a stone-cut homage tower, an old breadbasket rebuilt and two access gates, one of which is entered by a drawbridge. During the 15th century, palatial rooms were built by order of the Quijada family. Jeromín, the natural son of Emperor Charles I of Spain, who later became known as Don Juan of Austria, was educated there anonymously.
