East view of the castle

The castle of the Bracamonte was built by Marshal Álvaro de Bracamonte at the beginning of the 15th century. It is rectangular in shape, with cubes in three of its angles and a keep in the other. The water supply was made through a pond, which was filled with the Malpaso stream. It belongs to the type of so-called castles of the Valladolid school. What was the courtyard of arms has now become a town cemetery.
