The castle tower that still stands was part of the fortress built in the 13th century by the Portuguese king Don Dinis to protect the lands in the area.
It is advisable to visit the tower inside, it houses a Historical Interpretation Classroom and a permanent exhibition on the Border Fortifications. In addition, from the top floor you can enjoy beautiful views of the entire area, including neighboring Portuguese lands.
