Castle of Alba, Losacino, Medieval castle in Losacino, Spain.

The stone fortress stands on a hill near the Aliste River, with remains of four corner towers and sections of defensive walls.

The Knights Templar controlled the castle from 1220, serving as a strategic point between the kingdoms of Leon and Portugal during border conflicts.

The castle received recognition as a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1985, marking its status as a protected Spanish cultural heritage site.

Visitors reach the castle ruins through a marked path from Losacino village, offering views of the surrounding Zamora province landscape.

The remaining tower and walls display architectural elements from both 12th-century Templar construction and 15th-century noble modifications.
