Evoramonte, Portugal, Portugal

Castle of Evoramonte in Evoramonte, Portugal, began construction around 1306 under King Dinis who fortified the medieval village atop Serra d’Ossa after its 1248 charter, originally reconquered from the Moors in the 12th century by Geraldo the Fearless.

Rebuilt post-1531 Lisbon earthquake in Manueline and Renaissance styles by architects Diogo and Francisco de Arruda for the Dukes of Braganza, it features a rectangular fortified palace with four integrated cylindrical towers, chamfered base widening upward, cannon emplacements, sculpted cornices, vaulted interiors on columns, and a cistern amid encircling walls.
