The Alcázar of Toro is a historic fortification located in the town of Toro (Zamora, Castile and León), with great heritage and scenic value.

It was built in the 10th century during the Christian repopulation, as part of the defensive system against Muslim incursions.
It was reinforced in subsequent centuries, especially in the Middle Ages, when Toro acquired strategic importance in the Kingdom of León and later in Castile.
It played a prominent role in the War of the Castilian Succession (1475), in the famous Battle of Toro between supporters of Isabella I of Castile and Joanna la Beltraneja.

One of Toro's important buildings, the Alcázar de Toro's origins date back to the 10th century, although the walls we see today date back to the 15th century. The 180 meter long walkway offers spectacular views over the Duero River and the city of Toro.
