Castle of Villarejo de Salvanés (Madrid)

West view of the homage tower of the castle

The castle of Villarejo de Salvanés was built in the 13th century to strengthen the christian conquests of the catchment area of the river Tagus. Only remains the homage tower, constituting an architectural exhibition unique in Spain, having cylindrical towers grouped in the sides and not only on the edges, as it is usual in the spanish military architecture.
