Castle of Manqueospese, Medieval castle in Mironcillo, Spain.

The Castle of Manqueospese rises at 1,360 meters altitude, overseeing the Ambles Valley with stone walls adapting to the rocky terrain.

The fortification started construction in 1490 under Pedro Davila, but legal disputes with the Avila community interrupted the project until Esteban Davila completed it.

The name of the castle relates to tales of forbidden love between nobility members who used this location as their meeting point.

The castle remains in private ownership and requires advance arrangements through the Mironcillo town hall for any visit considerations.

The structure combines different architectural periods, incorporating both 12th-century defensive elements and 16th-century Renaissance features in its design.
