History edit

Construction on the site began in the 13th century, but the castle did not take its current form until the mid-15th. Captive Moors were used to build it.[1]

Alonso Pérez de Vivero, who ordered its construction, was murdered for conspiring against Álvaro de Luna, a favourite of John II of Castile. The Catholic Monarchs of Spain confiscated the castle from the Vivero family due to their opposition in the War of Castilian Succession; it was returned in 1490.[1] The Catholic Monarchs themselves spent their honeymoon in the castle in 1469, and in 1521 the castle was occupied in the Revolt of the Comuneros.[1]

In July 1983 Demetrio Madrid, the President of the Junta of Castile and León, chose the castle to be the seat of the Cortes of Castile and León, the regional legislature.[2] In 2007 the legislature moved to a brand new building in the city, in an economic blow to both the castle's owners the Province of Valladolid and the people of the village.[2]

Renovations started in 2011 ended in late 2012 when the castle was opened to the public as a tourist site, and venue for weddings, conferences and concerts.[3][2] By 2015, it was safe for tourists to access the roof of the tower.[4]
