The first bishops of Miranda had to live in the Castle. It was only in 1601 that construction began on the Episcopal Palace and the Seminary. When it was completed, more than a century later, its opulence was no less than that of the Cathedral, whose Renaissance style it imitated. The Palace was built around a central courtyard, surrounded by a cloister with lowered arcades, on monolithic columns. And, although badly damaged by successive fires during the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the definitive transfer of the seat of the Diocese to Bragança, in 1780, that caused it to fall into rapid ruin. The shadow of its monumentality can still be seen today in the cloister and on the portico of the Seminary. However, despite its state of ruin, its symbolic power remains because the bishops always continued to engrave their names on the respective memorial, at the entrance to the Renaissance portico of the first Episcopal Palace of the Diocese.

The castle of Miranda do Douro was built during a second period of settlement and ordering in Trás-os-Montes, which occurred during the reign of King Dinis. The first kings had provided this vast region with administrative units protected by Romanesque castles, called Terras, whose mission was to establish royal authority in an area of the kingdom that was notoriously peripheral. Over time, this power structure proved to be inadequate and King Afonso III initiated a different policy, the most visible of which was the founding of new urban towns. In the territory of Miranda do Douro, the new town was founded by King Dinis in 1286, thus culminating in the transfer of power from the old castle of Algoso, which had been the capital of the land until that date.
