| Additional information |
Manzanares el Real was begun in the 1440s under Íñigo López de Mendoza and completed by his son Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, second Duke of the Infantado — one of the most powerful noble families in fifteenth-century Castile. It is among the best-preserved late Gothic castles on the Iberian Peninsula, largely because it saw almost no military use after construction, spending much of its history as a ducal residence rather than a fortress.
The 1.5 euro denomination is Spain's standard vehicle for its ongoing architectural heritage series, issued for domestic collector circulation rather than everyday use.
