Castle of Castelo Rodrigo, Medieval castle in Castelo Rodrigo, Portugal.
The fortress follows an oval layout surrounding the village, featuring four circular turrets on the western and southern sides with partially collapsed tops.
The Treaty of Alcañices in 1297 marked the incorporation of Castelo Rodrigo into Portuguese territory, leading to extensive fortification works by King Denis.
The castle exhibits medieval defense architecture with three preserved gates: the Door of the Sun, Door of Alverca, and Door of Betrayal.
The castle welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, offering wheelchair access throughout the main pathways and viewing areas.
Following local resistance to Spanish rule, King João I ordered the town's coat of arms to be displayed upside down as punishment for supporting Castile.
