The Castle of Torremormojón, a significant landmark in Spain, has held the distinction of being a *Bien de Interés Cultural* since 1878. The castle's current state, however, has sparked curiosity. In the 14th century, the castle underwent a comprehensive rebuilding, including the construction of a tower. This unfinished structure, a deliberate choice by the builders, serves as a remnant of a battle fought over a decade prior. Originally constructed by the Moors in the 10th century, the current structure dates back to the 14th century. After approximately 400 years, it was allowed to succumb to decay before being rebuilt. However, it did not manage to evade the conquerors for long, as it was captured in 1405.
