Impressive aqueduct in Portalegre

This castle differs significantly from other castles in Portugal, as it is more of a fortress than a royal residence. It is located to the north of the city, with very thick and high castle walls. Due to its strategic location at the highest point in the city, the top of the castle and its ramparts offer magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

It connects the town of Amoreira to the city of Elvas. With a length of 8.5 kilometres, 843 arches with more than five arcades and towers that rise to 31 metres in height, it is considered the largest aqueduct in the Iberian Peninsula. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910 and is part of the site called the Border and Garrison Town of Elvas and its Fortifications, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 2012.

All of the pictures here (except for the last ones with the Pelourinho) show not the Dominican Church, but the old Sé, the city's parish church, the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Assunção (antiga Sé). The Dominican Church is also not located on the Plaza de la República (City Square), but on the Largo Primero de Decembro, behind the old cathedral, opposite the Arch of Santa Clara.

Forte da Graça (Graça Fort), also known as Forte Conde de Lippe, is located on the mountain with the same name, one of the highest ones and very important in the defensive strategy of the region. Only one kilometre to the north of the city of Elvas.

Segovia is not the only city on the peninsula to have a Roman aqueduct. The Amoreia aqueduct is located in the parish of São Brás e São Lourenço, within the municipality of Elvas, district of Portalegre, in Portugal. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2012. The Amoreira aqueduct is part of the "Border garrison and fortifications of the city of Elvas" complex.
