Castle of Amieira do Tejo, Medieval castle in Arez e Amieira do Tejo, Portugal.
The rectangular fortress features Gothic architecture with four corner towers and thick stone walls rising above the Alentejo landscape.
The Knights Hospitaler received permission to build the castle in 1256 from King Sancho II to expand their influence in southern Portugal.
The castle grounds contained a cemetery during the 19th century, reflecting the changing role of the structure in local community life.
Visitors can reach the castle through EN 359 road or by connecting from A6 highway to IP6 and EN 118 routes.
The Chapel of São João Baptista, added in 1556, displays a vaulted ceiling and Renaissance retable within the castle complex.
