A Castle Or, triple towered, embattled, port and windows Azure, and masoned Sable.
Un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable.
Some of the characteristics of the Castilian castle are specified in the coat of arms in English, for example, «triple towered, embattled», but they are omitted in the Spanish blason, because the Spanish blason considered that the Castilian castle can not be otherwise. These local characteristics, that decades ago were not necessary to specify, could begin to have to be in this global and interconnected heraldic world. [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009a] describe the different characteristics between the Castilian, the French, and the English castles among others.

There are several methods to draw a pointed coat of arms, for example, the method of [The Heraldry Society; 2013; page 7]. There are also several pointed coat of arms with the ratio 5/6 between its width b and its height h.
The previous illustation shows my method to draw a 5/6 pointed coat of arms. The center Cd of the dexter arc is 17h/36 = 17b/30 from the top of the shield and its radious is 13h/24 = 13b/20, or what is the same, its diameter is 13h/12 = 13b/10.
The position of the Cs of the sinister arc and its construction is symmetric to the dexter arc with respect to the vertical axis, as shown in the following illustration.

There is a series of nine coats of arms in the ballroom of the castle:

Transform the blazon «Or» into «Or, five Pommes in saltire» and the blazon «Argent» into «Argent, five Hurts in saltire» moving the pommes and hurts through both metals, without breaking the rule of tinctures.
You can change one charge by another one, but only once.
For example, if you change «Sable, a Bend Argent» by «Sable, a Pale Argent», then the Pommes can arrive to «Or» blazon. However, this is not a solution, because the Hurts cannot walk to «Argent» blazon.

Gules, three Clarions Or.
Plain tinctures and parchment finishing.
This wind musical instrument appears at [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figura 476] as «claricord» and also «clarion», I like more this second name.
The clarion is also called «clarichord», «sufflue» or «rest». Then other alternative blazons for this coat of arms could be «Gules, three Claricords Or», «Gules, three Clarichords Or» or «Gules, three Sufflues Or».
Blazon keywords: Without divisions, Gules, Three, Clarion and Or.
