Now let's move on to the story of the Torre Loizaga fortress itself, where the only European collection is located, which presents all Rolls-Royce models released from 1910 to 1990. Each car in the collection is kept in perfect condition and can go on the road at any time. The tower used to serve as a defensive bastion and was one day restored by entrepreneur and collector Miguel de la Via, who is in love with vintage cars. Having restored the fortress, he decided to arrange his favorite Rolls-Royce collection there. In total, there are six pavilions on its territory, which allow visitors to enjoy the greatness of such elegant transport.
