    Hiking

    The site in Nossa Senhora da Tourega e Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe has been continuously occupied since 3000 B.C. and 1000 A.D. It was founded on a castro fortified proto-historic structure, with its origin in the Bronze Age, Chalcolithic, with vestiges from older settlements.

    During the Middle Ages it was sporadically re-occupied and reconstructed.

    Records from the 15th century indicate that the castle was associated with Giraldo Sem Pavor, a warrior who conquered Évora from the Muslims in 1165.

    Today the site is being analyzed for classification.

    Giraldo Castle, or Geraldo Castle, is located in Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, in the current parish of Nossa Senhora da Tourega and Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, in the Municipality of Évora, District of Évora, in Portugal.

    It is a castro, a proto-historic fortified structure with origins in the Bronze Age or even the Chalcolithic, but with traces of later occupations.

    It has a subcircular plan and an outer perimeter of 114 meters. The wall that has survived to the present day probably belonged to a period of medieval occupation.
