The current castle was built in the 15th century on the site of an earlier 13th-century fortification, which belonged to the Order of Alcántara.

In 1470, Juan de Ulloa and his wife, María de Sarmiento, rebuilt it in a palatial style, placing their coats of arms above the entrance. Juan supported the Portuguese cause in the War of the Castilian Succession and died defending the castle in 1476; his widow then defended it for a time.

Located on a plain near the village of Villalonso (population approximately 75), 11 km from Toro and about 47 km from Zamora.

It is a typical square-plan castle-palace with a high moat (now filled in), corner towers, crenellated walls, and a keep crowned by a machicolation.

The castle is perched on the plains of Toro and can be seen for miles. Rectangular in shape, the masonry structure was built and used during the Middle Ages, exchanging hands many times between noble families. It was used in the 1978 film Robin and Marian, which starred Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn.
