Tips
From up here you have an all-round view of Lamego. You can go up in the tower, but there is no all-round view from above. At the moment the whole area is being restored and repaired thanks to European aid funds.

Castelo de Lamego was constructed during the 12th century and was an important defensive structure during the Middle Ages. The castle underwent various renovations over the centuries, with the addition of Gothic and Manueline elements in the 15th and 16th centuries.Today, the castle is mostly in ruins, but visitors can still see the remaining walls, towers, and gates that once surrounded the fortress. The castle is situated on a hill overlooking the city and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The ascent to the Castelo is not for the disabled. Everyone else is rewarded with tranquil little alleys and a wonderful view.
