This castle was actually the inspiration for Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. This famous castle is synonymous with the childhood of Isabel II. She, a fervent Catholic and her husband gave the Jews and Muslims 3 options: 1) leave Spain 2) convert to Catholicism or 3) die.
The castle, complete with a moat, drawbridge, and watchtower are remarkable. We went up to the immense watchtower with a total of 252 steps. I would love to live there, but would hate to forget something upstairs.
