Castelo

Castelo
Dating from the 12th century, it was donated in 1466 by king Afonso V to Fernão Cabral (father of the navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral), who changed the military fortress into a fortified manor-house.

During the 17th century, it became seriously deteriorated for lack of preservation and was even used as a barn.

Now it lodges, besides a small museum, an open-air amphitheatre for cultural events.
