Castle of Asmesnal, Medieval castle in Alfaraz de Sayago, Spain.
The castle features a square tower with barrel vaults and corner turrets crowned with domes, along with a two-story residence within its walls.
The fortress dates back to the 12th century when it was known as Almeslal, and underwent reconstruction in the 15th century during conflicts with Portugal.
The name Asmesnal follows traditional linguistic patterns of the Leon region, derived from a reference to damascene plum trees in the area.
The castle stands on private property in an advanced state of deterioration and requires permission from owners for any visits or documentation.
The structure includes artillery towers and advanced defensive elements forming a curved enclosure, demonstrating medieval military architecture in Zamora province.
