The Castle of Évoramonte:
During the 12th century, the region of Évora Monte was conquered from the Moors by the forces of Geraldo Sem Pavor. (Main Square in the city of Évora named after him). By 1248, a charter, was issued to the region to provide incentives for settlement, which was reaffirmed in 1271.
Around 1306, King Denis ordered the fortification of the town: it was at this time that construction of the castle (that we can visit today) began, that included the main structure, walls and gates.
After the rise of John I of Portugal to the Portuguese throne, the castle and associated lands were given to the constable Nuno Álvares Pereira, (was a Portuguese general of great success who had a decisive role in the 1383-1385 Crisis that assured Portugal’s independence from Castile).
