The Almonacid Castle in Toledo is a Muslim building that was donated by Alfonso VI to the Toledo Cathedral. Its current configuration is due to the reforms carried out by Archbishop D. Pedro Tenorio in the 14th century and later it served as a prison for D. Alfonso de Gijón y Noreña, bastard son of Enrique II. In the 16th century, D. Pedro Gumiel commented that the fortress needed urgent repairs. In the 18th century it passed into the hands of the counts of Mora and during the War of Independence, in the 19th century (1809), it was a refuge for the troops of General Venegas, with the Battle of Almonacid taking place at its feet, which ended with the capture of the castle by the French. In 1839 the mayor of Almonacid allowed the residents of the town to use the material from which it was made for private use, further accentuating its ruin. Today the castle is property of the City Council and access is free.

From any point that we approach Almonacid de Toledo and from tens of kilometers away, raised on a promontory, as if it still defended the road to La Mancha, the figure of the castle can be seen. It is a good example of a 14th century castle, intended as a permanent residence for troops and to constitute a military population for surveillance and defense.

Charming town from La Mancha with a curious 16th century church that has a beautiful Mudejar tower and a collection of gold and silver work. There is also an 18th-century hospital that was in operation until the 1930s and is worth visiting, although to do so you must arrange it with the Town Hall.

Impossible not to see it even from kilometers away, the ruins of the Almonacid castle rise imposingly on top of the hill at the foot of which the town is located. There are records of the castle dating from the year 848 and it is believed to be of Muslim origin. Surrounded by a deep moat next to its wall, the castle is made up of an interior enclosure and a central tower. In the 11th century it passed into the hands of King Alfonso VI, centuries later it used to be a prison and its most recent function dates back to the beginning of the 19th century as a fortress during the War of Independence. Without a doubt, it is worth visiting since it will also give you the best views in all directions towards this beautiful area of Toledo.
