Castillo de Alfonso Téllez de Meneses (s. XIII - XV) (en ruinas)
Villalba de los Alcores, Spain, Spain
Castillo de Alfonso Téllez de Meneses, dating from the 13th-15th centuries, crowns a hilltop in Villalba de los Alcores, Valladolid province, Castilla y León, Spain, constructed around 1195 by the noble Alfonso Téllez de Meneses after Alfonso VIII granted him the lands amid Castile-León border conflicts.
This palace-fortress endured early sieges like Enrique I's 1217 assault, Pedro I's 1354 capture, and the Count of Benavente's 1469 takeover with subsequent reforms, featuring family escutcheons in vault keystones and defensive walls now in ruins.
Listed as a historic-artistic monument since 1931, its deteriorated remains privately owned offer a poignant glimpse into medieval frontier warfare and noble power struggles in the Tierra de Campos plains.
