The Castle-Palace of Castronuevo, also known as Castle of Rivilla de Barajas, is an impressive fortification located in the municipality of Rivilla de Barajas, in the province of Ávila, within the autonomous community of Castilla y León. Although its current use is null, its history and structure reveal its former greatness. It was erected by Gil de Vivero before 1481, on the site of Castronuevo, and later remodeled by his son before selling it in 1489 to the Duke of Alba. The castle has three circular towers and two rectangular towers. Despite its age and danger of collapse, this castle remains a fascinating testament to medieval history and architecture. 🏰🌟
