Believe it or not, this "castle" wasn't built by a king, a knight, or even an architect!
It was created by a Spanish doctor who had zero architectural training. He spent seven years building it simply because he wanted to honor Christopher Columbus, the explorer known in European history for the 1492 voyage that linked Europe and the Americas.
Inside, it even hides one of the smallest chapels in the world, measuring only about 2 square meters.
Even though it looks like something straight out of a medieval fairytale, it's actually a 20th century monument, and has three famous ships from his journey: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María - the vessels that carried the crew across the Atlantic.
Spain you are too beautiful
