Placed in an end of the hill where the population settles, the Pedraza castle is a work of the XIVth century, on remains of previous fortifications, with reforms of the XVth and XVI. It belonged to the families Farrier and Fernández de Velasco (dukes of Cold and condestables of Castile). It is famous, in other things, for having been the place chosen by Carlos V about 1529 to guard the children of the king of France, Francisco I, prisoners in the Pavía battle. It was a residence of the painter Zuloaga, and today it lodges a museum dedicated to his work. Es famoso, en otras cosas, por haber sido el lugar elegido por Carlos V hacia 1529 para custodiar a los hijos del rey de Francia, Francisco I, prisioneros en la batalla de Pavía. Fue residencia del pintor Zuloaga, y hoy día alberga un museo dedicado a su obra.

It has irregular polygonal plant, of double enclosure, with square towers and pit. His picture cut away in the sky, raised on top of the hill, is imposing when the traveler comes closer Pedraza for the highway of The Velilla. The wooden door of the entry is an ogival arch of the XVIth century wrapped up by two big garitones. It still preserves sharp iron tops in the shape of small pyramids. La puerta de madera de la entrada es un arco ojival del siglo XVI arropado por dos grandes garitones. Todavía conserva agudas puntas de hierro en forma de pequeñas pirámides.
