Castillo de Manzanares El Real, adarve y torres meridionales

[ENG] The Castillo de los Mendoza, better known as Castillo Nuevo de Manzanares el Real, is the most emblematic fortress in the Community of Madrid and one of the best preserved in Spain. The construction was started by the 1st Duke of the Infantado, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza in the 15th century and was completed by his son, Íñigo López de Mendoza, who hired the architect Juan Guas, one of the greatest representatives of late Gothic in Castile and architect of the Kings Catholics. The building reflects the transition from the medieval chivalric era with its defensive elements and the humanist Renaissance with its large halls, decorated facades and magnificent viewpoints, more typical of a palace.

[ESP] La parte superior del castillo está recorrida por el adarve (camino o paseo de ronda) protegido por almenas saledizas que comunica las cuatro torres caballeras (construidas sobre la azotea de otras mayores) decoradas con bolas isabelinas, la suroriental octogonal que constituye la torre del homenaje, y las otras tres circulares y algo menores.

El Castillo de los Mendoza, más conocido como Castillo Nuevo de Manzanares el Real, es la fortaleza más emblemática de la Comunidad de Madrid y una de las mejor conservadas de España. La construcción la inició el I Duque del Infantado, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza en el siglo XV y la finalizó su hijo, Íñigo López de Mendoza que contrató al arquitecto Juan Guas, uno de los máximos representantes del gótico tardío en Castilla y arquitecto de los Reyes Católicos. El edificio refleja la transición de la época caballeresca medieval con sus elementos defensivos y la renacentista humanista con sus grandes salones, fachadas decoradas y magníficos miradores, más propio de un palacio.
