The Alba de Aliste Castle is an old medieval fortification located in the town of the same name, belonging to the municipality of Losacino, in the province of Zamora, Spain. The remains of the castle are located on a hill that overlooks the Aliste river and the Retael stream. Although its geographical environment is currently profoundly modified due to the construction of the Ricobayo dam, this castle had notable defensive value in its time.
