The Castle of the Duke of Montellano, also known as Castle of Narros de Saldueña, is located at the end of the town of Narros de Saldueña, in the heart of the La Moraña plain, in the province of Ávila, autonomous community of Castilla y León. This castle, tracing its origins to the 15th century, is a good example of a castle-palace built with brick and mud (mortar), which relates it to Mudejar architecture.

The church dates back to the time of the Catholic Monarchs, specifically the 16th century. Its main entrance presents a spectacular doorway attributed to the sculptor and architect Juan Rodríguez. This doorway follows the classic scheme, with a semicircular arch flanked by two columns with Corinthian capitals. On the entablature and triangular pediment, you will find granite sculptures representing mythological beings and gargoyles.

Church with three wide naves that began to be built in the s. XV, being in its day one of the best of the time in the province. If you visit the town at Christmas, you should know that it is part of the Moraña Nativity Scene Route.

Small town that is located at the foot of the northern side of the Sierra de Ávila and that the center is governed by the parish church of San Juan Bautista. It is worth taking a stroll through its streets.

Possibly built from the chapel of the deserted area of San Juan de Robledo and which is located right next to the road. Beautiful building!
