The first reference to this church emerges in 1302. Features murals from the 14th century and was the seat of a parish with the same name and was open to the cult until 1863. Here also works the interpretive center of the Castle, being possible to make guided tours.

Dom Dinis ordered these walls and the castle construction, composed by creneled walls, turrets, an enormous keep, ditches and barbican. In 1580 during the Filipe’s occupation, the castled underwent several damages. The castle still preserves thirteen turrets and three doors; one of them is Traição (Betrayal) door. One should point out the square turret, the Palace Cristóvão de Moura ruins and the urban agglomerate inside the fence.

Building that housed for decades an Inn. Was inaugurated in 1954 and disintegrated the network of Pousadas de Portugal in 2004.

Bastioned fortress built at the end of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th century by Dom Pedro II. It was part of the defensive plan of the Portuguese coast and aimed to protect the entrance to the Cávado River. It has a rectangular plan and at each angle there is a bastion and a guardhouse. Between the walls, which are quite ruined, the Lighthouse Tower stands out.

Built in 1662, in a place called “do Queijo”, to protect the city from the Spanish Fleet. Surrounded by a moat, it presents watch-boxes at the corners. Inside it is the governor’s residence at the time and a chapel. Nowadays it is the stage for many temporary exhibitions.

The Torre de Menagem (donjon) was built by D. Dinis order in 1324. The tower and the enclosed space were used as royal prison from the XIV to the XVIII century. The inside, completely remodelled with a modern iron and wood structure, lodges an interesting museological nucleus, which illustrates the medieval military techniques and the fighting instruments. The castle can be also known through a series of audiovisual documents.

This tower was part of the Palace that was being rebuilt, suffering constant changes to be fully dismantled during the first quarter of the 20th century.
