This castle differs significantly from other castles in Portugal, as it is more of a fortress than a royal residence. It is located to the north of the city, with very thick and high castle walls. Due to its strategic location at the highest point in the city, the top of the castle and its ramparts offer magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
