The view of the castle from the west is particularly impressive. There you can clearly see the fortress character with its protruding walls.

Estremoz Castle was raised in a dominant position over a hill, up North to the Sierra de Ossa, in the city of Estremoz, inside the district of Évora, in Alentejo, Portugal.

It is a castle with a pentagonal floor, with a walled enclosure reinforced with buttress which raises around the Torre de Menagem Keep, an spectacular tower made in white marble and 27 metres height. It is believed that the works for this monumental tower occurred during the reigns D. Alfonso IV, D. Pedro and D. Fernando. That is why it is known as Torres das Três Coroas (The Tower of the Three Crowns).

Besides the Medieval fence, the city of Estremoz counts with a vast fortified area from the epic Guerra da Restaruação (Restoration War), where you can distinguish the battlemented towers and two arch doors, and a rectangular tower with Roman-Gothic style with several windows.

The Estremoz Castle was built in a dominant position on a hill to the north of the Serra de Ossa, in the city of Estremoz, in the district of Évora, in Alentejo, Portugal.

It is a pentagonal castle with a walled enclosure, reinforced by buttresses that rise around the Torre de Menagem, a spectacular tower built in white marble, 27 metres high. It is believed that the construction of this monumental tower lasted through three reigns: D. Afonso IV, D. Pedro and D. Fernando, and, for this reason, it is known as the Torre das Três Coroas.

Beyond the medieval wall, the town of Estremoz has a vast expanse of fortifications from the epic Restoration War, where the towers with battlements and two arched gates stand out, next to which there is a rectangular tower in the Roman-Gothic style, with several windows.
