Alanhe Castle
Alange Castle , towering over the river Matachel , was built by Muslims in the IX century. Having conquered Alanha, King Ferdinand III gave the castle the Order of Santiago in 1243. Until the middle of the XVI century, the castle was abandoned. Until now, its brick tower, which is visible for many kilometers, reminds of the great military significance of this castle in the era of the deep Middle Ages.
