The shape it held in its prime.

Perched on the rocky summit of the Cerro Calderico, the castle is a compact stone fortress of ochre-brown masonry with a surrounding crenellated curtain wall and several massive round towers, including a dominant central cylindrical keep. The fabric is rough-hewn local stone; roofs are mostly flat or battlemented in prime condition, and the inner ward sits on stepped terraces above the sloping hillside. The ridge behind the castle is marked by traditional white windmills spaced along the crest.
