  <p>EXÍN Castillos was a Spain-made brick system designed for castles, with castle-specific parts (roofs, arrow slits, battlements).

Body: <p>The set is a castle tower, no box, nothing on the bricks but they're definitely larger than normal LEGO and much smaller than Duplo, the color is kind of &quot;marbled.&quot;</p>

  The set is a castle tower, no box, nothing on the bricks but they're definitely larger than normal LEGO and much smaller than Duplo, the color is kind of "marbled."

  With only that information, I'll make a wild guess and say [EXÍN Castillos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EX%C3%8DN_Castles).
  
  EXÍN Castillos was a Spain-made brick system designed for castles, with castle-specific parts (roofs, arrow slits, battlements). Most of the bricks had few studs (sets had lots of 1x2 bricks for the walls, and 3x3 round bricks for the towers) and the studs were quite flat relative to the height of the bricks. Most bricks had indeed a "marble" texture to them.

  At the time of this writing, it's possible to see most of their old catalog at <http://eolo.cps.unizar.es/exincastillos/> .
  
  There's also a modern (2014) revival of the system - the folks at <https://ngcastillos.com/> offer newly designed sets, as well as second-hand parts.
  
  Note the marbled appearance of the plastic and the shallow studs:
