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 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.

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.

Zamora Castle is a historic fortification located in the city of Zamora, in Castile and León. Built in the 11th century, the castle has witnessed numerous historical events and has undergone several modifications over the centuries. It has a rhomboidal plan and is surrounded by a deep moat. Its thick walls and the keep, which is the highest and served as the last defensive redoubt, stand out. The castle is a fascinating place to explore history and enjoy panoramic views of the city.

very nice place. Was recently voted one of the 10 most beautiful places in Spain. A bit touristy, but not overcrowded

On a promontory are the remains of what was once a castle belonging to the Order of Santiago. From that area there are beautiful views of the region.

Personally, I don't like this area a lot. I have seen hares, rabbits, deer, wolves and it's always quiet. I always go alone and explore paths

Built in the s. XV by the Pimentel family after taking control of the region, the fortress would witness the wars with Portugal in the s. XVIII and the War of Independence, when Portuguese soldiers would face the Serrar Division of the French army.
