Sabugal Castle is one of the most imposing and well-preserved medieval fortifications in Portugal. It is known as the "Castle of the Five Corners" due to the unusual shape of its impressive pentagonal keep, the castle's most iconic feature. Its pentagonal (five-cornered) plan is considered unique in Portuguese military architecture. It is approximately 30 meters high and offers incredible views. The castle has a double ring of walls. You can walk along the ramparts on top of the walls for a panoramic view over the city and the Côa River. From the top, you can see the Côa River winding its way through the city and the natural landscape of the Serra da Malcata mountain range.

Sabugal, a town that deserves a visit to its castle and the entire surrounding area, especially the magnificent river beach on the Côa River.

On the banks of the river that gives it its name, Meimoa River Beach is an invitation to relax. Between shaded lawns, a natural pool, and futsal and beach soccer fields, there's plenty of space to have fun or simply relax. The bar with a terrace completes the perfect setting for cooling off on hot summer days.

This pillory was built in the 16th century in the Manueline style. It has been classified as a property of public interest since 1933.

Among the secret corners of Portugal, the Côa River is a discreet treasure. It rises in Fóios and flows through valleys and hills until it joins the Douro River in Vila Nova de Foz Côa. Even here, where it flows gently and seems like just a trickle, the valley reveals all its magic. It's the ideal place to rest for a moment, cool your feet, and let yourself be enveloped by the river's serenity before resuming your journey.

Built on the Côa River, Sabugal Castle preserves centuries of borders and memory. Once part of the Kingdom of León, it passed to Portugal in 1297 and became a strategic staging ground for the Portuguese-British troops during the Third French Invasion. Today, it continues to stand as a living testament to the long history of one of Europe's oldest nations.

Built on the Côa River, its main function is the production of hydroelectric energy and, to a lesser extent, the water supply and regulation of the river flow. Completed in 2000, its creation gave rise to a reservoir that is partially located within the Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve, a protected area of great ecological importance

Here you cross a small asphalt bridge that connects the two banks of the river surrounded by vegetation and enter the Serra da Malcata nature reserve.
