The grounds in the lowlands of the fortress contains remnants of an older castle which had been destroyed some time ago. Outside the dance hall was a tall clock tower which allowed access to the dance hall and the Castellan's throne room via a rotating bridge. Further north was a dance hall, which could be reached quickly through a gondola station. The castle, proper is located at the southern side of the fortress, and is connected to the village by way of a drawbridge. The castle may have been built near a volcano, as one of the rooms was situated directly above a lava pit. Many rooms within the castle house menacing creatures, such as Novistadores and Armadura.Īreas of interest include an extensive hedge maze filled with Salazar's ' pets,' many large towers, including one that houses a gigantic statue of Salazar himself, and an extensive sewer and cave system, housing some of the castellan's pet insects. Within its walls hides both an opulent palace and a number of horrific deathtraps.

The interior of the building seems much more modern, resembling an 18th-century palace. It is a concentric castle that uses the lake as a natural moat. Kennedy and Ashley Graham escaped from the village and into Salazar Castle while attempting to evade a large horde of pursuing enemies. The ruins were reopened in the 21st century on the orders of Ramon Salazar, 8th Castellan, who had become a member of the revived cult. The expansive ruins below it were used as a prison for the Plaga parasites to prevent the cult of Los Iluminados from surviving beyond his reign. The castle was built before or during the time of Salazar, 1st Castellan.
