Montiel Castle

Highlight • Castle

Montiel Castle, also known as the Star Castle, is one of the most important historical sites in Castile-La Mancha.
Built by the Arabs in the 9th century, under the name of Munt-Yil, it was part of the defense of the Islamic territory against the Christian advance.
It was conquered by the Christians in 1227, after a long siege, and passed into the hands of the Order of Santiago, who made it the center of the Commandery of Campo de Montiel.
The Tragedy of Montiel (1369) occurred here, where King Peter I of Castile was assassinated by his brother Henry of Trastámara, with Bertrand Duguesclin famously saying: "I neither remove nor appoint a king, but I help my lord."
It is currently in a state of partial ruin, but excavations and guided tours are taking place.
