Castle De Manzanares was built in the late 1400's by one of the most influential families in Spain, the Mendozas. It was the second castle built in the town of Manazanares Real, the first being the Mendozas first home, that became too small for thier needs. Originally the New Castle was just a fortress but later was adapted into a palace. Many parts of the castle are missing such as the throne room, library, and chapel. However, and ambitious renovation program continues to restore the castle to its original beauty. The interior of the castle holds a museum with various rooms and items dedicated the history of the castle and surrounding areas.
