Salvaterra Castle, Medieval fortress in Salvaterra de Miño, Spain
The rectangular fortress spans 9,700 square meters along the Miño River, featuring preserved walls, a central chapel, and the Count's House residence.
Originally built between the 10th and 11th centuries, the castle changed hands between Spanish and Portuguese forces during the Portuguese Restoration War from 1642 to 1659.
The Chapel of Virgen de la Oliva displays Portuguese symbols, including crosses and royal crowns, reflecting the period of Portuguese control in the 17th century.
The castle contains multiple points of interest, including the Caves of Doña Urraca, which now house the Wine Science Museum of Condado do Tea.
The fortress walls retain architectural elements from different periods, showing both medieval defensive structures and 17th-century military engineering adaptations.
