Castillo de la Monclova hosts weddings, gala dinners, company presentations, congresses, symposiums, technical workshops, press conferences, book launches and outdoor events. It also rents its grounds for film and advertising shoots. Indoors, two halls open onto the mill courtyard; outdoors, the gardens and a palm grove of about 20,000 square meters take large receptions. The castle stands in the countryside of Fuentes de Andalucía, in the province of Seville.
Seminars and company events
The company program covers gala dinners, product and company presentations, congresses, symposiums, technical workshops, press conferences, book presentations and sporting championships. Programs can be built to measure. The Salón de Tapices and the Salón de Lienzos, both lit by glass windows over the courtyard, work for a plenary, a presentation or a seated dinner. The restored Antiguo Molino, an 18th-century mill, takes guided visits and events. The site does not publish room capacities, so share your guest count and layout when you ask.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the castle's best-known business. Religious ceremonies take place in the chapel, which holds a 15th-century Castilian altarpiece brought from the Duke of Infantado's castle at Viñuelas, near Madrid. Civil ceremonies are also offered. Its services list catering with menus, dessert tables, cocktail service, open bar and a ham carver, plus tableware, furniture, tents, a courtyard pergola, staging, lighting, sound, music, photography, video, drone filming and wedding planning.
Rooms and capacities
The Patio del Molino is a courtyard with a round fountain and a terrace facing the tower, partly enclosed by arches and glass. Beside the keep, an open area suits a cocktail or a marquee. The castle gardens are kept by their own staff, and El Palmeral, a former orchard of about 20,000 square meters, offers dense shade for outdoor events. Guests enter through a gate lit by old lamps, and parking lies about 100 meters from the castle.
Accommodation
The Casa del Obispo, a 16th-century suite of about 100 square meters, stands beside the castle and the gardens. The 19th-century Casa de los Invitados has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room on two floors. For larger groups, the services list includes hotel bookings nearby.
Catering
Catering is part of the services offered, from menus and cocktails to open bar. Ask whether outside caterers are accepted.
History and setting
The oldest parts, the keep and three stretches of wall, date from the 14th century. The plan was rectangular with corner towers, of which traces survive at the north and east corners. Later works remodeled the castle heavily. An inscription over the entrance records works completed in 1668. The keep now holds the main staircase, and the arcaded courtyard carries shields of the Order of Mercy.
Getting there
The castle lies in the lower Guadalquivir countryside, between Palma del Río to the north, Écija and La Luisiana to the east, La Campana to the west and Fuentes de Andalucía to the south. Seville and its airport are the usual arrival points. A private asphalt road lined with acacias leads to the main entrance.
