蒙特莫爾韋柳城堡

蒙特莫爾韋柳城堡 呈现出 莊園或宮殿 和 遺跡建築
Traverse the battlements of this huge medieval fortress, which sits atop a hill and offers views of the surrounding rice fields that extend for miles.

Perched on a hill overlooking much of the surrounding region, Montemor-o-Velho Castle is a striking sight indeed. Walk around the battlements, explore the land between its defensive walls and imagine what life was like here during medieval times for the soldiers who stood on guard. 

Note that the region where Montemor-o-Velho Castle stands has been occupied since ancient times. During the 8th century, it became the stage for hard-fought battles between Arabs and Christians. Though it is believed that a 10th-century Islamic fortification may once have stood here, the current structure is mostly the result of several medieval-era constructions. 

Stroll around the battlements and look down at the rice paddies that stretch out below. Try to spot the Rio Mondego, a river flowing through the valley nearby. The castle site is usually peaceful and uncrowded so you may want to sit for a moment to enjoy the tranquility. Even better, consider bringing along picnic supplies to eat while admiring the views of the surrounding region. 

Though the castle is mostly ruined, some parts remain visible. Look for the ruins of Paço das Infantas (the princesses’ palace), which is believed to have been built in the 12th century, near the southeast walls of the castle. Don’t leave without exploring the 16th-century Igreja de Santa Maria de Alcáçova church. The modest-sized church is still intact and features pretty tilework and artworks dating back to the 18th century. 

Music concerts, festivals and other events are occasionally staged on the castle grounds. Check ahead to see if any activities are happening during your visit. 

Find Montemor-o-Velho Castle about 15 miles (25 kilometers) west of Coimbra. To get to the castle, take a train from Coimbra and make the 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) walk from Montemor station. Alternatively, ride a bus from Coimbra. Buses stop even closer to the castle itself. Driving from Coimbra will take about 35 minutes.
