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 San José Reservoir and Dam, also known as the Castronuño Dam, is a hydroelectric engineering project located in the middle course of the Duero River, about 2 km from the town of Castronuño. Built between 1941 and 1945, the dam is a gravity type and has a height of 14.05 metres.

The natural viewpoint of La Muela Park in Castronuño is an impressive place that you cannot miss. From this privileged balcony, you can observe the great meander that the Duero River draws as it passes through Castronuño. This meander is one of the largest in Europe and is located in the heart of the Riberas de Castronuño natural reserve. The landscape is idyllic, and the river has been a silent witness to the passage of time and the history of this region. If you visit Castronuño, you should definitely explore this viewpoint and enjoy the panoramic views. Also, if you like hiking, there are interesting routes in the area. I hope you have a wonderful experience there! 😊
