Castelo de Torres Vedras
Castle located on top of a hill, in an area surrounded by the village. The walls were raised by the Arabs and, later, D. Dinis expanded the fortification and D. Manuel ordered its reconstruction. This castle was part of the defensive system of Linhas Torres. Ruined by the 1755 earthquake, it still retains some sections of the wall and the large semi-circular turret that defended the entrance to the former Palace. Inside the wall, in an oval shape, there is a chapel, the citadel that includes the keep and three cisterns.
