Castle of Castelo Bom, Medieval castle in Almeida, Portugal.
The Castle of Castelo Bom rises on a rocky hilltop near the Côa River, featuring irregular walls and a square keep with seven arrowslits.
Built in the 12th century, the castle changed ownership from the Kingdom of León to Portugal in 1296 through King Denis's conquest and the Treaty of Alcanices.
The castle structure represents medieval Portuguese military architecture with its granite construction, barbican design, and defensive fortification techniques from the 13th century.
Visitors can explore the remaining walls, Town Gate, and partially preserved tower, which are protected as a National Monument of Portugal.
The castle complex contains a medieval cistern in its redoubt and two 16th-century wells that supplied water to the entire village.
