Top 10 castles and palaces in Spain

To this day, Spain remains a monarchy, only a constitutional one. For many decades, one of the most powerful states in the world was ruled by kings of different dynasties. As expected, they lived in palaces and castles.

In total, more than 10,000 of these majestic structures were erected here, but now there are less than 2,500 of them. Many of them were built during the Middle Ages.

The rating of the most attractive castles and palaces for tourists in Spain is presented below.
