Castillo de Vélez-Blanco is a remarkable example of Spanish Renaissance Castle. It is located in the town of Vélez-Blanco, province of Almería, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.It was built by Pedro Fajardo y Chacón after being ranked as I Marquis of Los Vélez by the Catholic Monarchs after the Granada War. Works started in 1506 and finished in 1515. It has works by florentian Jacopo Florentino and Martín Milanés, who worked also in the Royal Chapel of Granada. The castle was built on the foundings of a previous moorish castle set on a hill overlooking the town and only the cistern and some of the castle walls were used for the new castle. Works started in late Gothic style, soon moving to early Renaissance and although its outside resembles a castle it was built as a refined palace in the inside.
