Gothic castle of the 14th century, owned by the Duke of Medinaceli. Partly restored interior, is used occasionally as a house.
Its singular name is product of the legend of an impossible love between a lady and a gentleman, thus this castle would be their place of meeting.

Title

Name in English

The Walls of Ávila in central Spain, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, are the city of Ávila's principal historic feature. These fortifications are the most complete in all of Spain.
Description
The work was started in 1090 but most of the defensive wall appears to have been rebuilt in the 12th century. The enclosed area is an irregular rectangle of 31 hectares with a perimeter of some 2,516 meters, including 88 semicircular towers. The walls have an average width of 3 metres and an average height of 12 metres. The nine gates were completed over several different periods. The Puerta de San Vicente (Gate of St Vincent) and the Puerta del Alcazar (Gate of the Fortress) are flanked by twin towers, 20 metres high, linked by a semicircular arch. The apse of the cathedral also forms one of the towers.
It is possible to walk upon the walls for roughly half the circumference. Whilst some of the walls will never be navigable in this way because of their integration into other structures, there is a large stretch of the walls that has yet to be made safe for pedestrians.
The site was registered as a National Monument in 1884. In 1985, the old city of Ávila and its extramural churches were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.

Walls of Ávila

The remains of this castle are dated back to the XVI century. It is a quadrilateral with cubes at the corners, which there is only one of them and the foundations of the others. In addition, you can see the remains of the columns of the courtyard and semi-Gothic voussoirs, scattered in the atrium of the church. Today, it is a private property and is used as a dwelling.
