It is located at Plaza de la Cava, 1, in the town center of Marcilla (Navarra), easily accessible and surrounded by bars and a children's playground. This 15th-century Gothic fortress was built of brick on a stone foundation by Mosén Pierres de Peralta, with material and financial support from Charles III the Noble. It served both as a defensive stronghold and as a palatial residence for the Marquesses of Falces, descendants of Peralta. In 1516, the Marchioness Ana de Velasco saved the castle from being demolished by order of Cardinal Cisneros.

There is not much to see of the old castle, but it is still interesting to visit it to learn a little more about the area. There are few walls and remains of a moat that was the main entrance. The views are pretty good.
