Country Pursuits Sites of interest

The monument that is most representative of Montánchez is its Castle, which is found on a hill, in a place that has considerable strategic importance. This originally Almohad castle in a faithful exponent of architecture from the Reconquest during the Middle Ages.

Apart from its castle Montánchez has many typical sites scattered around the town; like the Muslim district known as the "el Canchalejo", as well as certain noble houses, hermitages, etc.

What also stand out are the ancient walls of the old town “Villa Vieja” that probably date from the 12^th century and that appear to have been built on top of a previous Muslim construction.
