The Old Castle that Lies
The castle beautifully sits on the highest point of the hill, enjoying a beautiful panorama of the city. The hill and the surrounding area have been occupied by several civilizations since the Iron Age. Today, this neighbourhood belongs to the parish of Santa Maria Maior and access to the interior of the castle, which was designated as a National Monument in 1910, is provided through the arch in Rua Santa Cruz do Castelo. Have a look at it! It looks quite old, doesn't it? Well, it?s not. The largest part of what we see today is a reconstruction of the original structure, which went through a major makeover in the 1940s. Battlements and towers were built on the previously existing building in order to give it a medieval look, and although most people believe this is a living memory of the city's past, it is actually a monument less than a hundred years old.
