Castle of Carrazeda, Medieval castle ruins in Selores, Portugal.
The Castle of Carrazeda stands on a plateau at 2126 feet elevation, featuring granite walls reaching 6.6 meters high and 2.65 meters thick.
Following the fall of the Moorish fortress in the late 11th century, Christian forces established fortifications to protect settlements along the Douro River.
The castle received multiple foral charters since 1160, marking its role as a central point for regional administration and community development.
The ruins are accessible via the EM 632 road, with archaeological excavations conducted between 1996 and 1998 revealing various structural elements.
The castle structure includes the São Salvador Gate, two rectangular towers, and primitive cisterns integrated into its oval-shaped defensive walls.
