Castle of Arnóia, Medieval castle in Celorico de Basto, Portugal.
The Castle of Arnoia stands upon a hill, featuring a quadrangular tower, watchtower, single entrance door, and defensive walls.
First documented in 1064, the castle served as a military stronghold during the European castling movement between the 10th and 12th centuries.
The castle represents Portuguese Romanesque architecture and contains archaeological remains from the 14th to 16th centuries within its fortification walls.
The castle provides free entrance to visitors, with an Interpretive Centre installed in 2004 offering detailed information about the monument.
The fortress experienced decline after 1717 when local authorities relocated from Vila de Basto to Britelo, leading to the village abandonment.
