Discover the story about Belver Castle
Step into the past at Belver Castle, the first and most significant fortress built by the Hospitallers in Portugal. Established in 1194 by King Sancho I, this medieval stronghold was crucial in defending the Tagus River against Muslim forces and stabilizing the frontier.
Perched majestically above the parish of Belver, the castle offers breathtaking views and a rich history. Imagine kings and knights strategizing within its walls, and Nuno Álvares Pereira enhancing its defenses in 1390. The Chapel of São Brás, added in the 16th century, adds to its charm.
