Castelo Rodrigo was built around 500 BC. It was conquered, inhabited and partially destroyed by different cultures (Iberians, Romans, Arabs, Castile, Spain and Portugal) over the centuries.
It is protected by a city wall with 13 defense towers, some of which are now occupied by houses. Some buildings can be seen from the outside or can also be visited. It is fun to walk through the village on a discovery tour.
There is also a small craft shop, a café and a gourmet shop that sells specialties made from olives, almonds or cork. Ideal as a small souvenir.translated by•October 19, 2021
