    The Castillo de la Mota in Astudillo, also known as the Astudillo Castle, is a late medieval fortification dating from the 12th-13th centuries. It is located on an artificial mound on top of a gentle hill in the province of Palencia, Castile and León.
    This castle witnessed numerous historical events and served as the residence of illustrious figures such as Pedro I of Castile and María de Molina. Although only an ultra-semicircular cube and some remains of masonry from the walled enclosure remain today, it remains a jewel of local heritage.
