Castle of Valongo, Medieval castle in Nossa Senhora de Machede, Portugal
The Castle of Valongo stands on elevated terrain with a rectangular layout, four corner towers, and defensive walls topped by square battlements.
The site has Roman origins, followed by Visigoth and Muslim occupation, with the castle structure rebuilt during the 14th and 15th centuries.
The castle represents the military architecture of medieval Portugal, with its keep tower divided into three floors supported by cross-ribbed brick vaults.
The castle maintains its original structure without modern facilities, requiring visitors to arrange their own transportation to the rural location.
The fortification contains Islamic inscriptions within its walls, marking the presence of Muslim builders during its early construction phases.
