Castle of Noudar, Medieval fortress in Barrancos, Portugal.
The Castle of Noudar stands between the Múrtega and Ardila rivers, featuring thick defensive walls and strategic watchtowers that dominate the surrounding landscape.
King Dinis of Portugal ordered the construction of this border fortress in 1295 to protect against Castilian invasions and established it as a refuge for condemned individuals.
The fortress represents medieval Portuguese military architecture through its preserved gates, towers, and walls that display construction techniques from the 14th century.
Visitors access the castle through marked paths from Barrancos town center, with parking available near the main entrance and informational panels throughout the site.
The castle maintains an original water supply system connected to Fonte da Figueira spring, located 250 meters east of the fortification.
