Castelo de Castelo Melhor
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.
