The castle was founded by King D. Dinis in 1290, with the aim of defending the Alentejo border. Originally, it had an imposing structure with a double ring of walls, twelve towers and eight gates. Over the centuries, it lost part of its structure to the growth of the city, but it remains a National Monument. The Keep is the best-preserved part of the original complex. Inside, there is a museum that you can visit.

It's a hard climb up to Marvao and our route took us us v steep cobbles. Fine on mountain bike but hard on fully laden tandem. The main road will also get you there. Either way views from Marvao and the town itself are fabulous!
