The origin of the castle of La Adrada seems to come at the end of the 14th century, when King Enrique III of Castile granted the village of La Adrada to Constable Ruy López Dávalos who should build this building on the earlier remains and incorporating a gothic church inside. It currently houses the Centre of Historical Interpretation of the Valley of Tietar.
