Castle of Belver, Medieval castle in Belver, Portugal.
The stone fortress stands on an elevated position above the Tagus River, featuring a central tower surrounded by defensive walls and three minor towers.
King Sancho I donated the land to the Order of Hospitallers in 1194, leading to the construction of the castle as a strategic defense point.
The Castle of Belver contains the Chapel of São Brás, built in the 16th century, representing the religious influence of the Hospitaller Order in Portugal.
Visitors can access all sections of the castle, including the walls, towers, and central courtyard, while exploring the medieval military architecture.
The castle served as one of only six repositories of Portuguese national wealth in the 13th century, as documented in historical records.
