Visit the Castle of Tourão - Rebordãos

The Castle of Tourão, located in the Parish of Rebordãos, is located in a small spire in spur, in the hillside and in the northeast limit of the mountain range of the Nogueira. The first occupation of the place will have been a small fortified settlement, of the Final Bronze or Iron Age, of which there are scarce vestiges.
The second phase of occupation corresponds to the construction of a small medieval rock castle, whose occupation extends to the modern era. From this rocky castle there are still evident traces of structures, which, though heavily overturned, are still preserved in the foundations and some walls of considerable dimensions.
