From the 17 m high keep you have a wonderful view over the city, the surrounding area and the adjacent stadium. Opening hours in summer 10am - 6pm, in winter except Mondays 9.30am-5.30pm, entrance fee: 2.10 €, children free.
For families with children certainly worth a visit!

On the hill is the city's main historical landmark - the beautiful Castle of Leiria, built in the 12th century by order of the first king of Portugal. This castle has been remodeled and expanded over the centuries.
A visit is worthwhile and the castle can be easily reached via elevators both from the old town and from the large car park at the stadium.
