The castle of Torres Vedras is an important part of Portuguese history. It was a strategic point in the fight against the Moors and later against Napoleon. The castle was conquered in 1147 by Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal.

Today I was lucky and was able to visit the ruins as well.

Castelo de Torres Vedras is an imposing medieval fortress, with a history that dates back to Roman times and a significant role in the Napoleonic Wars (as part of the Lines of Torres Vedras). The castle represents an important historical heritage. If you want to stop here for a break you can explore its ancient walls and enjoy panoramic views of the city and the surrounding landscape.
