Castelo de Chaves
Built by Dom Dinis, this castle was of great strategic-military importance in the defense of northern Portugal. The two forts, both built during the Restoration Wars, form quadrilaterals reinforced at the angles by bulwarks. Currently, remains of military walls are preserved. From the construction of the Dom Dinis era, only the keep, which houses the Military History Nucleus, remains.
