Castle of Lindoso, Medieval castle in Peneda-Gerês National Park, Portugal.
The Castle of Lindoso stands on a hilltop with granite walls, towers, and fortified structures that extend across the mountainous landscape.
Built during King Afonso III's reign in the 13th century, this fortress protected Portuguese territories from Spanish invasions along the northern border.
The castle grounds feature numerous traditional granite granaries called espigueiros, which local farmers used to store and preserve their corn harvests.
Visitors can access the castle daily, with guided tours available in Portuguese that include entry to the museum housed within the main tower.
The castle's position provides direct views of the Lima River valley and the Serra Amarela mountain range, marking the exact point of medieval border defense.
