la mota castle

You'll find the awesome Castillo de la Mota overlooking the town of Medina del Campo in Valladolid, region of Castilla y Leon.

Chock-a-block full of history, this 12th-15th century castle, with its turrets and towers, is the largest in the region and remarkably-well restored.

Mota means an artificial mound, on which the castle is built for improved defence.
