The bishop who gave the castle its name

Curiosity · Topas, La Armuña, Salamanca

Image of Topas, not of the place itself.

Alonso Ulloa de Fonseca Quijada, bishop of Ávila, received the fortress in 1477, turned it into a Renaissance palace and lived in it with his lover Teresa de las Cuevas; the constancy of that love earned the building the name of castle of Buen Amor.
