Portel Castle 851

#1780

122

Portel Castle was erected in the 13th century by João de Aboim. Improvement works were carried out by architect Francisco Arruda, under D. Manuel I reign. In that period the following monuments were built: Paço dos Duques de Bragança; Church Igreja de S. Vicente in Manueline and mudéjar style, which is now in ruins; headquarters; stables and a cistern. The keep still strikes the visitor for its dimension. It has an arch door and Gothic marble windows.
