This castle possessed one of the best defensive border walls. Currently, only a few gates, sections of the wall, and towers crowning the hilltop remain. Several anthropomorphic tombs are also preserved near the east gate. Its layout had an irregular configuration, almost without battlements, and with three gates (the West Gate, the Arch Gate, and St. Peter's Gate), a keep, and four more towers.

Possibly built upon a Lusitanian hill fort, this castle sits on a hill. It retains some sections of the wall, gates, a small tower, and a cistern with a regular plan. It is possible to observe the perimeter of the wall that surrounded the inner courtyards and the Keep. From a distance, it resembles a king's crown planted on a mound of earth.

The church consists of three naves, a chancel, a sacristy, and an archive. The façade features a full-arch portico with Manueline decoration (flanked by two national coats of arms), armillary spheres, a fleur-de-lis, and a cross of Christ. It is topped by a bell tower with three windows and four Renaissance busts. Inside the church, the Baroque altars, the coffered ceiling of the chancel, the statuary, and the inclination of the columns are noteworthy.

O silêncio que tudo domina, entrecortado apenas pelos melódicos sons da natureza, é imagem de marca desta Casa do Rio, implantada numa das quintas da Quinta do Vallado. Localizada entre as vinhas e debruçada sobre o Douro, a Casa do Rio tem apenas seis quartos, integrados numa casa ‘suspensa’, de madeira e amiga da natureza. Esta extensão do Wine Hotel Quinta do Vallado proporciona um contacto próximo com o Douro oferecendo uma estadia que promete ser uma experiência única, além de refeições, provas de vinhos e atividades em terra e no rio.

The terraces are the “ex-libris” of the Alto Douro. This landscape full of curves, with a schist terrain, is the work of the man of this region who takes care of it and plants here the famous wine of the region.

It is composed by a square shaft with a ring decorated with Manueline elements. The capital is ornate with strings and scallops standing four pinnacles with escutcheons evolving central elements finished with one fleur-de-lis.
