Castelo do Sabugal e Restos da Muralha
This fortification was built in the 12th and 13th centuries and later expanded by King Dinis. During the Manueline period, some alterations were made, of which the portal that gave access to the drawbridge remains. It also preserves the alcazaba with its pentagonal-based keep, the Torre das Cinco Quinas (Tower of the Five Corners), protected by machicolations and turrets, and the ring of walls that surrounds the town. Of particular note are the thickness and height of the alcazaba's curtain walls and the existence of the barbican.
