Castle of Estremoz, 13th-century medieval castle in Estremoz, Portugal.

The Castle of Estremoz stands on top of a hill, featuring defensive walls, towers, and a 28-meter-high keep known as Torre das Três Coroas.

King Afonso III ordered the construction of the castle's walls in 1261, establishing a strategic defense point that protected the region for centuries.

The castle holds the status of National Monument of Portugal and contains the Chapel of Queen Saint Isabel, decorated with traditional Portuguese tiles.

The medieval fortress now functions as a luxury hotel, offering accommodation in historical rooms while maintaining its architectural characteristics and stone structures.

The castle incorporates local white marble in its construction, reflecting the region's position as a major global marble production center.
