Amieira do Tejo, Medieval castle and village in Portalegre, Portugal
The Castle of Amieira do Tejo features a rectangular layout with four corner towers surrounding a central courtyard near the Tagus River.
The Knights Hospitaller initiated the construction of the castle in 1256, serving as both a military fortress and a shelter for traveling pilgrims.
The Chapel of São João Baptista, constructed in 1556, displays Renaissance architectural elements and contains an ornate vaulted ceiling.
Visitors can explore the castle every day except Sundays and Mondays, with entrance fees of 2 euros for adults and free admission for children under 14.
The castle's largest tower, positioned above the main entrance, functioned as a prison during its operational period in medieval times.
