Castro ou Castelo de Vermoim
Castro ou Castelo de Vermoim, Medieval castle and Iron Age hillfort in Vermoim, Portugal.
The fortified structure stands on an elevated position, featuring stone walls that demonstrate both Iron Age and medieval construction techniques.
The castle experienced a devastating Norman attack in 1016, resulting in the death of Count Alvito Nunes and the permanent decline of the fortification.
Archaeological excavations in the 1980s uncovered ceramic artifacts and building foundations that reveal the daily life of Iron Age inhabitants.
Visitors can access the archaeological site by following marked paths from the center of Vermoim, with informational panels explaining the historical periods.
The site carries both the name of Count Vermuiz Forjaz and marks the location referenced in medieval documents for establishing regional boundaries.
