Description
The castle was part of the defensive line controlled by the Knights Templar, and a stronghold used during the Portuguese Reconquista. It is believed that the castle was constructed on the site of a primitive Lusitanian castro that was later conquered by the Romans during the 1st century B.C.E. It was later remodeled by successive invading forces, including the Alans, Visigoths and the Andalusian Berbers, although it is unclear when the actual castle was established.
