You can visit the royal palace in Madrid (http://www.travelinginspain.com/Palace.html) and you can easily get by train to Segovia, which has a fantastic castle (Alcazar de Segovia: http://www.travelinginspain.com/segovia2.htm).
It is apparently also possible to get by public transport to La Granja de San Ildefonso, a former royal summer residence near Segovia, by Linecar bus from Estación del Sur (or there may be organised tours from Madrid). See http://www.spain.info/TourSpain/Arte+y+Cultura/Monumentos/H/RP/0/Palacio+Real+++La+Granja+de+San+Ildefonso?Language=en
For another castle it takes 2-3 hours by train to Manzanares from Madrid Atocha, sometimes changing in Ciudad Real/Alcazar de San Juan: http://www.feelmadrid.com/manzanarescastle.html
