| At the foothills of Sierra de Guadarrama, very close to La Pedriza, there is the Castle of Manzanares El Real. Built in 1475, over a Mudejar Romanesque chapel dedicated to Santa Maria de la Nava, the palace-fortress of the Mendoza Family is nowadays the best preserved castle in the Region of Madrid. This important example of 15th Century Spanish military architecture in the Elizabethan Gothic-style, was initially conceived as a fortress but quickly turned into the residential palace of the Mendoza family. Santillana reservoir, also known as Manzanares el Real reservoir is a body of water along the Manzanares river. |
