The Castle of Salar - Casa Palacio de Hernán Pérez

This is a typical tower-farm castle dating from the thirteenth century, the Moorish period. It was conquered during the siege of Loja in 1486 by Hernan Perez del Pulgar. Although it has been reformed, its original structure, the old and bulky tower-castle is still perfectly preserved. It is retaining its battlements, windows and loopholes. Attached to the tower is the palace known as El Castillo. In the castle there are ancient gargoyles that pour water through their mouth.
