Castelo de Geraldo, Medieval castle in Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, Portugal

The castle encompasses a semi-circular construction with a perimeter of 114 meters, featuring four cylindrical towers that narrow towards their upper sections.

King Dom Dinis initiated the castle construction in 1306, incorporating Gothic architectural elements that reflected the military requirements of the medieval period.

The castle shares connections with Geraldo Sem Pavor, a Portuguese warrior who led the conquest of Évora from Muslim forces in 1165.

The archaeological site maintains open access for visitors, offering views of Évora and the town of Valverde from its remaining structural elements.

The site reveals continuous human occupation from 3000 BC through 1000 AD, with remnants dating back to the Bronze Age and Chalcolithic period.
