Muralhas do Castelo e Palácio de Cristóvão de Moura
King Dinis ordered the construction of these walls and the castle, composed of crenellated walls, turrets, a large keep, moats, and a barbican. In 1580, during the Philippine occupations, the castle suffered considerable damage. Thirteen turrets and three gates are preserved, one of which is the Gate of Treason. Of particular note are the turrets, the ruins of the Palace of Cristóvão de Moura, and the urban layout within the walls.
