The Castle of Evoramonte, alternatively spelled Évora Monte or Évoramonte, is a Portuguese castle located in the civil parish of Evoramonte, municipality of Estremoz, in the former district of Évora. Begun in the Gothic style in 1160, it was expanded in the Manueline style in later centuries.

The castle walls can always be open; For the opening hours of the actual castle see the picture. From the top you have in better weather a panoramic view over the surrounding countryside.

The picturesque and delightful parish of Evoramonte (or Évora Monte) is located between the beautiful cities of Évora and Estremoz. Once of great geographical and military importance, this Alentejo town, whose walls still protect its inhabitants from the top, feels like an ancient warrior patiently awaiting visitors with countless stories to tell.

Clearly divided into two very distinct parts, Evoramonte combines the current life of the lower area with its medieval town located at the top of the Serra d’Ossa. Although its history dates back to prehistoric times, this unusual Alentejo town had its first notable moment during the 12th century.

Around the 1160s, the Reconquest of Portugal from the Moors was underway and the Alentejo region was considered one of the most difficult for the troops of D. Afonso Henriques. It was exactly at this time that Geraldo Geraldes, better known as Geraldo Sem Pavor (yes, the one who would give his name to the famous Praça do Giraldo), offered himself to the King to help him retake the Alentejo lands lost to the Saracens.
