This tower features a marvellously preserved and beautiful hall with its mudejar coffered ceiling and mixture of gothic and renaissance styles. The parador 'Fernando II de Leon' as it is called occupies the castle- palace built in the 12th century. It was named to honour Fernando II as the founder of the town.
