Caudilla Castle is located in the municipality of Santo Domingo-Caudilla, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. It is possible to visit the castle leaving from this municipality by the TO-4521-V road.
Caudilla Castle, also known as Rivadeneyra Castle, was built in the 15th century (1449-1450) by Hernando de Rivadeneira, Marshal of Castile. During the revolt of John II, it remained faithful to the king, facing the armies of Don Alvaro de Luna. From this castle, Enrique IV left with a hundred knights to subdue the city of Toledo, which was a supporter of the Infante Don Alfonso.
Caudilla Castle is a small palatial, non-military castle from the late feudal period. It had a rectangular floor plan and a moat.
The homage tower had three floors with windows on the two central floors and the Ribadeneira coat of arms (a cross with five shells on waves), today unrecognisable, on the last floor. It also had matacanes and its corners were round and had sentry boxes.
The walls of the building are made of stone, the most used material in these constructions, thanks to its hardness and abundance.
