Castle of Ouguela, Medieval fortress in Campo Maior, Portugal
The castle stands on an elevated position overlooking the Abrilongo stream, featuring seven quadrangular towers and a defensive wall system.
The site originated as a pre-Roman settlement, later became known as Budua during Roman times, and integrated into Portuguese territory through the 1297 Treaty of Alcanices.
The castle represents the evolution of Portuguese military architecture, incorporating elements from different periods of border defense strategies.
Visitors can reach the castle from Campo Maior, with the structure offering views of both Portuguese landscapes and the Spanish castle of Albuquerque.
The fortress contains a large quadrangular cistern measuring 12 meters on each side, located in the main weapons square.
