Castle of Braga, Medieval castle remains in Braga, Portugal.
The Castle of Braga features a thirty-metre granite keep tower with chamfered merlons and thick walls in the historic city center.
King Dinis initiated the castle construction in 1300, creating a fortress with five towers and eight gateways to protect the city.
The castle keep now stands as a testament to medieval military architecture and serves as a venue for local heritage exhibitions.
The castle remains are accessible through Rua do Castelo, with guided tours available through the Association for Cultural Heritage Protection.
The keep tower displays the royal coat of arms on its northeastern façade and reaches a height of thirty meters above street level.
