Castle of La Mota
1 / 6
Castillo de La Mota - by Management
Description
The Castle of La Mota is a fortress built in brick during the 14-15th centuries, a period during which it changed hands several times before becoming part of the Crown of Castile. Its main architectural feature is the 38m-high and 13m-wide Torre del Homenaje.
Access & Transport
The castle is at the eastern edge of the town of Medina del Campo (across the river and the railroad), 50km south of Valladolid (CL-610).
Instructions & Recommendations
The audio-guide tour does not include the visit to the underground galleries, upper floors of the Castle, and keep. The guided tours price is slightly higher and includes access to the underground shooting galleries but is only in Spanish language (the audio-guides have English and French options)
Environmental & Social
We deem this attraction environmentally neutral. Helps preserve the region's architectural and historical heritages and bring some economic activity to the town.
Conclusion
The castle is without a doubt one of the highlights of Valladolid Province and worth a detour for those on a regional road trip and not yet replete with castle visits.
Key positive
Extremely photogenic
Interesting history
Key negative
Tower can only be visited as part of Spanish-speaking guided tours
Suitability
The audio-guide option is accessible for visitors with reduced mobility, the guided visits are not
