Castle of Castelo Rodrigo
The Castle of Castelo Rodrigo is a medieval fortification that encircles the village of Castelo Rodrigo in the municipality of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Guarda district, Portugal. The oval stone enceinte carried multiple circular turrets, a square keep (Menagem Tower), and several named gateways; the defensive circuit was substantially rebuilt under King Denis in the early 14th century.

As it stood in 1325
The shape it held in its prime.
The castle forms an oval stone enceinte encircling a compact village, built of warm brown-pink granite and rubble masonry with ashlar quoins. Curtain walls ring the site with regularly spaced circular turrets (thirteen at prime) and a prominent rectangular keep (Menagem Tower). Gateways punctuate the walls, including a pointed arched town gate. Roofs within the walls are red clay tile; battlement walkways run along the wall tops; a barbican and surrounding moats complete the defensive silhouette at its peak.
