Castilla

Castilla was an Aragon-class unprotected cruiser of the Spanish Navy that fought in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish–American War. Originally designed as an armored corvette with a central battery ironclad design, she instead was completed as an unprotected cruiser or wooden corvette. After early service in the Mediterranean Sea, she spent the rest of her career in the Philippine Islands. She took part in combat operations during the first two years of the Philippine Revolution in 1896–1897. When the Spanish–American War broke out 1898, she was part of the squadron of Contralmirante Patricio Montojo y Pasarón in Manila Bay and was sunk in the Battle of Manila Bay.
