Castelo de Porto de Mós, Medieval castle in Porto de Mós, Portugal.
The castle features tall stone towers with green-tiled spires and thick defensive walls positioned on an elevated hill overlooking the surrounding region.
The fortress originated during Roman times and underwent modifications by Visigoths and Muslims before its restoration during King Sancho I's reign from 1185 to 1211.
The structure represents Portuguese military architecture and stands as a National Monument since 1910, reflecting the medieval defensive heritage of central Portugal.
The castle maintains regular visiting hours from Monday through Sunday, with sessions from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
Two major earthquakes, in 1755 and 1909, caused substantial structural changes to the castle, resulting in its current architectural configuration.
