Spain has over 10,000 castles. Most are abandoned. Most are forgotten.
But these 5 are still alive.
In this video, we explore five extraordinary castles in Spain where people still live inside — each built before 1700, each carrying centuries of conquest, royalty, and secrets within their walls.
The 5 castles in this video:
👑 Royal Alcázar of Seville — Built 913 AD. The oldest royal palace in Europe still in use today.
⚔️ Almodóvar del Río Castle — Built 760 AD. Never conquered by force in its entire history.
🏰 Bellver Castle — Built 1300. The only circular castle in Spain, now a museum and concert hall.
