Vélez-Blanco Castle, a striking example of Renaissance military architecture, sits majestically atop a hill in Vélez-Blanco, offering stunning panoramic views of the town and surrounding landscapes. Built in the early 16th century by the first Marquess of Vélez, Pedro Fajardo, this castle boasts a blend of Gothic and Mudéjar elements. Especially noteworthy are the intricate marble staircase and the Renaissance courtyard, which were moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. For photo-travelers, the best times to capture its beauty are during sunrise and sunset, when the castle's stones glow warmly against the backdrop of the Sierra María-Los Vélez Natural Park.
