Sabugal Castle, Medieval castle in Sabugal, Portugal.
The castle features a pentagonal outer wall with four corner towers and a central keep rising over 20 meters above the fortification walls.
In 1296, King Dinis of Portugal took control of the castle, leading to significant modifications that shaped its current architectural structure.
The castle stands as a representation of Portuguese medieval military architecture, displaying Gothic elements throughout its construction and design.
The Municipality of Sabugal manages the castle grounds, which remain open for visitors to explore the towers, walls, and surrounding territory.
The fortress sits on an elevated position near the Côa River, with its pentagonal layout making it different from other Portuguese castles.
