Castelo de Évoramonte
The castle sits atop a steep hill at the western edge of the Ossa mountain range. The original fortification still includes the wall and gates from the reign of King Dinis. Within the walls, the highlight is the Paço de Homnagem (Homage Palace), which, along with the keep, forms a vast, regular quadrilateral. The palace's design is inspired by Italian Renaissance palaces.
