Castelo de Loulé
Loulé, Portugal, Portugal
Castelo de Loulé in Loulé, Portugal, began as a Roman fortification later transformed into a Moorish stronghold around 715, conquered definitively by Christian forces under D. Paio Peres Correia in 1249 during the Reconquista.
King Afonso III expanded it with towers, walls, and a charter in 1266, while 15th-century rebuilds by Henrique de Meneses integrated it into the town's medina enclosure amid economic booms from trade. Its robust walls, keep tower, and six gates survived urban growth and the 1755 earthquake, now housing a municipal museum as a symbol of Algarve's layered medieval past.
