Parking: available Bike parking: not available Path for disabled: not available Price: 1 EUR Local tradition states, that around 1160 the brothers Rui and Garcia Lopes, knights of D. Afonso Henriques, conquered Chaves for the Portuguese Crown. For this feat, they would have been rewarded by the sovereign with the domains of the town and its castle. The bodies of the brothers are buried in the Church of Santa Maria Maior. Some authors state that the construction of this keep was a response to the construction of Monterey Castle, on the opposite side of the border, in the kingdom of Galicia. The would return to action during the Restoration Period, and its defenses were modernized, and adapted to then-modern artillery fire. To this end, between 1658 and 1662 the town's lower walls were rebuilt. Small but interesting town with great little cafes and bars. Plenty of free parking very close by. Cute small with french garden and nice views to the river and downtown. Entrance not well signaled. You need to enter - one big medieval stair - to know prices and all. It's more of a tower than a full-on castle. Inside however is a nice little military museum going up several flights with eventual access to the roof area, giving great panoramic vies of Chaves. Museum good value at 1e per person. quite compact. A military museum as they seem to be. Very reasonable admission and you have access to the roof for the views. In the town so easy to get to Ig - @oursceneos Perched on a high vantage point overlooking the city, the medieval offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Adjacent to the lies a beautifully landscaped garden, perfect for leisurely strolls, and a well-preserved fortress from the modern era, adding layers of historical richness to the experience. As one of the city's top tourist attractions, this area invites visitors to immerse themselves in centuries of history while enjoying the serene beauty of its surroundings. Whether you're an avid history enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, the and its surroundings promise a memorable and enriching visit. A beautiful small that is still intact from its origin, one of the many castles that still stand in Portugal. There is a garden and easy to park on street paid parking. This on a hill it overlooks the city scapes of chaves and the landscape that surrounds the city. I also recommend to visit the old downtown that is near the where you can still feel the architecture from medieval era. Lovely little castle. 1€ per adult 50c per teenager. Some interesting weapons and uniforms on display over 3 floors. At the top you can access the roof and look out over Chaves.
