How old is the Castillo de Colomares?
Who is expecting a historic place here will be misplaced. Between 1987 and 1994 by Dr. Esteban Martín y Martín built with the aid of two bricklayers the monuments. They are a symbiosis of the Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic and Moorish style in Spanish architecture. Although the Spanish history, religion and culture has been cemented. Without a blueprint …so only with a vision the castle was formed into a replica of the three caravels, with which Columbus sailed to America.
