Best places: Castles in Castro Daire, Portugal

👍👍 Wonderful place! The lady in the information room was very attentive and helpful. Very welcoming, the city offers roasted and hot Portuguese chestnuts in front of the castle. Very attentive, the man who roasted the chestnuts.

Stone hilltop fort from the 9th century, with a chapel & sweeping views from walls & battlements.

Medieval residence with period interiors plus a museum including noteworthy tapestries & porcelain.

Modern facilities in an 18th-century villa offering diverse cultural events & landscaped gardens.

👍👍 Wonderful place to visit while in Largo do Pelourinho. Save time to visit the local shops near the entrance. Incredible Cork pocketbooks, Port Wine and seasoned almonds. Prices are reasonable as well!! We saved on purchasing two Backpack pocketbooks for my kids. The owner gave me a cork pen with my...

Hilltop Romanesque castle, founded in the 1000s & thought to be the birthplace of Afonso Henriques.

👍 Interesting place which houses a military museum which is only 1€ to see. Beware though, it's on four level's with steep steps.

Hilltop remains of a medieval defense castle, surrounded by chapels & wooded hiking trails.

👍👍 2€ to enter nice castle great views from the top of keep. Cute town

👍👍 Part of a group of historical villages in the center of Portugal, Linhares da Beira is a very well preserved Medieval village with a beautiful backdrop of the Serra da Estrela. It's very easy to image the history of the village, be lost in the memories of those narrows streets and be stunned by the...

👍👍 The whole village is enclosed by walls and gates. Very well preserved. A good tourist info center located in the village square just outside a gate. Be sure to see the tombs carved in stone located outside the village walls.

👍 The castle is visible from quite a distance from the town and it is quite imposing to see the two towers towering above the village. The walk up from the tourist stop is steep but not exhaustive. Along the way look at the old houses and doorways and stairs as you walk past. There is an area with a w...

😠 The castle is cool and has a nice view, but there is a home at the entrance with a dog chained by it’s neck outside the entire day. It has its voice box removed and if you get close it is constantly crying. It’s really sad that no one has done anything about this given it is illegal in portugal and...

👍👍 all very beautiful, pity it's very cold and foggy

😐 One of the smaller castles I've been to. Not fun to explore like others. Decent views.

1700s estate featuring an Italianate mansion with period interiors, formal gardens & guided tours.

👍 The second Castle and Walled Village of the day. After Numao, now Ansiães. Not being as imposing as the one in Numao, it is well worth a visit. Do as I do and watch them both. Very laborious road. Downhill and uphill, sometimes with Douro in the background.

👍👍 Torre com vistas para a cidade e para toda a região. Lugar incrível em que podemos relaxar com a tranquilidade da cidade de Mêda. Ao longe vemos Figueira Castêlo Rodrigo e toda a planície que liga as duas cidades. O acesso é bom , com umas escadas até ao cimo, no início das escadas tem um parque par...
