Castelo de Lamego
This castle was built on an ancient Lusitanian hill fort that the Romans fortified. The original castle's highlights include the citadel with its keep, the vaulted cistern, and two gates, the Porta dos Fogos and the Porta do Sol, which define the wall structure of the old town. The cistern is located near a section of the wall. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the tower served as the town hall. Noteworthy, in the Porta do Sol, is an 18th-century window dated 1642.
