The Castile Adelantamiento Archive, located in Covarrubias, Spain, is a Renaissance-style tower. Built in the second half of the 16th century, this building is a unique Prism-shaped structure with a rectangular base, three heights, and distinctive grilles. The design and project are attributed to Juan de Herrera, a renowned Spanish architect, while the execution is attributed to Juan de Vallejo, who added plateresque details. This architectural masterpiece was declared a monument of historic-artistic interest on July 13, 1961. It is the seat of the Museum of the Book, housing the funds of the disappeared Fadrique de Basilea Museum of Burgos.
