Castle is 900 yrs old and has been used in dozens of movie and TV roles( may have been used in the movie "El Cid." Many dramatic episodes here: nobleman helped to enforce Magna Carta; another one is a literacy character slain in battle. Another renounced his love for a courtier who lost her head as queen ( possibly Anne Bolyn). It is possible to rent one of the halls in the castle for a party. Do you know it?

Several castles used in El Cid, but best known UK location was Bamburgh Castle, Nothumberland. The castle cetainly claims an illustrious history, and is bookable for weddings and such like:

Back to El Cid:
The tournament at Calahora was filmed at Belmonte Castle in La Mancha Province.

The battle of Valencia being shot on the beach at Pensiccola, though the city walls and the fortress were a set.
