We can tour its large courtyard, and the almost square plan that it presents, indicating by its size and the time in which it was erected, that it served as a residence rather than a defensive fort. Two interesting cubes are indications of the barrier and the moat that protected the entrance door to the enclosure, and of which there are no remains. Three towers, two circular, another square, and the homage, make up the rest of the enclosure. Juan de Silva, the first Count of Cifuentes, began the construction of the fortress in the 14th century, which would be completed by his grandson, with the same name. It was endowed with artillery and garrison in the 16th century.

Fuensalida has had several moments of splendor, being in the 16th century when it reached its peak and most of the emblematic buildings of the town were built. In the middle of the 20th century, a footwear industry started that ended up becoming the largest in the province of Toledo, a rank that it still holds today.

Huecas is a small and quiet place, whose only bar, however, is capable of feeding a whole platoon. Perhaps because it is one of those places that is usually passed by, it is even more worth taking a walk through its streets.

One of the three villages on the marked route PR-TO 10 is the town of Rielves. Although its main attraction is the castle of Barcience a few kilometers from here, the town is very quiet and picturesque and offers enough services so that you can take a break on your route and get supplies.
