Vila Nova de Foz Côa is a jewel of northern Portugal, located in the Guarda district of the Alto Douro region. It is known for its unique archaeological heritage, spectacular wine-growing landscapes, and its deep connection to history and nature.

The Old Castle of Freixo de Numão is one of the most important archaeological sites in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, located in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, Guarda District, Portugal. It is a prehistoric fortified settlement occupied from the Chalcolithic (around 3000 BC) to the Bronze Age (1300 BC).

Amid granite boulders and echoes of ancient battles, Moreira de Rei rises, an eagle's nest crowned by ruins that still whisper stories of fleeing kings, noblemen, and armies that passed through here. A good example is its name, which dates back to the time when Moreira welcomed King Sancho II on his way to exile from Toledo. Beneath the old Romanesque church lies a proto-Christian necropolis, witness to centuries of faith. Between worn walls, Roman pavements, and Visigothic memories, the town preserves, in stone and silence, the grandeur of a past that has never ceased to pulse.

Marialva is a jewel among Portugal's Historic Villages. High above, the castle watches over centuries of conquests and legends, while within the walls still echo the memory of kings, fairs, and battles. Strolling its cobblestone streets is like traveling back in time: from the keep to the Church of Santiago, every detail tells a story. Outside the walls, vineyards and flavors of Beira Alta complete the landscape: roast kid, sheep's cheese, and sweets that preserve the taste of tradition. Here, the village is experienced as much on foot as at the table.

In the heart of the rolling plain, your gaze reaches Marialva. As you follow the national road, in the distance, high above, the castle stands imposingly, guarding the valley beneath.

Its ancient castle contrasts with the fears and fears experienced by the people of yesteryear. It was a border town, the scene of many important battles and struggles for the formation and independence of the kingdom. It received important privileges. D. Afonso Henriques granted it a charter and D. Afonso III the charter of Feira. D. Dinis ordered the construction of the walls that still protect a village where Christians and Jews lived together. The ring of walls that still surround the old medieval town, as well as the vast civil and religious architectural heritage, give the Historic Centre a unique image.

The Castle of Trancoso is erected atop a hill in the North-Easternmost extreme of the city of Trancoso, within the district of Guarda, Portugal. It is a castle build in between the 10th and 13th centuries, featuring towers and the characteristic walls inclined to the tower of Moorish connotations. From the primitive castle appears the walled fortress with five towers and an homage one, the walls featuring several gates as well. Among these, the Porta do Rei stands out the most for being flanked by two towers.
