As we approach the entrance to the village, we come across its Castle, classified as a National Monument. Pedro Álvares Cabral, the most famous inhabitant of Belmonte, was born here. The fort was built in the 13th century, at the behest of D. Afonso III, and in 1466 it became the residence of the Cabral family. One of its most emblematic points is the Manueline-style window from the 16th century, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the valleys and mountains that surround the village.

Circular castle facing the Tagus River, built in 1194 by Sir Afonso Pais and rebuilt in 1390 by Sir Nuno Álvares Pereira. It maintains the walls of the wall, partly battlemented and with traces of turrets. The entrance door was built in the 15th century and has a round arch. Inside the castle is the chapel of São Brás, which features a pleasant 17th century altarpiece. Belver Castle was the starting point for several actions against the Moors, and also served as support for King João I during the War of Independence.

Castle made of stone masonry and a thick wall, with a wide walkway running along the entire wall.

Also, noteworthy is the elegant Citadel and the heart-shaped walls and its typical houses. On the north side of the walls, stands the "Princess Tower", where, according to legend, a young Moorish girl loved by a Christian lived as a prisoner.

Built by Dom Dinis, this castle was of great strategic-military importance in the defense of northern Portugal. The two forts, both built during the Restoration Wars, form quadrilaterals reinforced at the angles by bulwarks. Currently, remains of military walls are preserved. From the construction of the Dom Dinis era, only the keep, which houses the Military History Nucleus, remains.

Revival castle rebuilt in the 20th century, with a circular plan, where traces of medieval fortification remain.

Castle built by King Afonso Henriques in the 12th century. Together with the castles of Penela, Soure and Lousã, it was part of the Alfonsian network of fortifications to defend the lands of Coimbra.

In the 10th century, the Countess Mumadona had a monastery built on her estate. The fact that it was the target of intense Moorish attacks meant that a fortress was built to protect the monks and the Christian community. Thus was born the Castle of Guimarães.
