Castelo de Torres Vedras, Medieval castle in Torres Vedras, Portugal.
The stone fortification includes Gothic architectural elements, defensive walls, and the Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo with Romanesque portals.
The castle site dates back to Roman times, with later fortifications by the Moors until its Christian reconquest in 1148 by King Afonso I.
The castle walls contain the Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo from the 12th century, featuring the only Romanesque portals in Torres Vedras.
The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00 between September and June, and from 10:00 to 19:00 in July and August.
The fortress became part of the Lines of Torres Vedras in 1810, a defensive system that successfully halted Napoleon's invasion of Portugal.
