Castle of Castelo de Vide Type: Castle Time spent: 20-40 min Parking: Limited Bike parking: not available Price: free WC: available [!]Currently, the tower is closed. With the intervention of an embassy from the kingdom of Aragon, ​​peace was reached between D. Dinis and D. Afonso Sanches, who agreed to demolish some of the fortifications he had constructed. Under the regency of D. Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, the defenses of the castles in the Alentejo region were strengthened, including Castelo de Vide. A new architectural stage took place at the end of the 17th century, in the context of the Restoration of Portuguese independence, when modernizations were introduced to adapt it to modern artillery standards. Work began in 1641. Years later, in 1660, this fortification was made of two main areas: the castle, to the west, and the São Roque Fort, to the east, interconnected by bastioned walls.

I visited the Castleo de Vide while I was staying 3 nights in Castelo de Vide in November, 2017. The castle is located atop a very steep hill and the walk up on the cobblestone walk is difficult and for me, killed my knees. It's free to walk around and there also is an excellent small museum as you come into the courtyard which is exhibits of the Neolithic megaliths in the area, artifacts found in the area. Very interesting, however, all the information is in Portuguese no English.

The town of Castelo de Vide is unforgettable. Lots of trendy young adults give it a lovely energy and although we did not find a vegan restaurant, there are many restaurants, boutique shops and cafes in the main square. Its an exhilarating walk up through the old medieval town (with many fabulous renovations) within the castle walls, and the historic Jewish quarter, past gorgeous gardens - rose vines dripping over front doorways, ancient chapels, the ubiquitous cats framed in old stone entrances, village elders taking in the sun, loquat, olive and lemon trees, to reach the top of the castle and be rewarded with breathtaking views that will capture both your imagination and your heart. Well worth a visit and to make time to explore other sorrounding...

Замок Каштелу-ди-Види (Castelo de Castelo de Vide) расположен в одноименном поселке в округе Порталегри. В Средние века он имел важнейшее стратегическое значение из-за своей близости к границе с Кастилией. Собственно, это и делало его постоянным объектом ссор и тяжб даже между близкими родственниками королевских кровей, что, впрочем, было для средневековья обычной практикой... Так, например, в 1273 году король Афонсу III передал этот замок своему сыну Афонсу. Наследником же короля был Диниш, младший брат Афонсу, и Афонсу, в силу своего первородства, рассчитывал предъявить права на престол и начал даже готовиться к войне с братом, интенсивно укрепляя свои владения, в том числе и подаренный отцом замок Каштелу-ди-Види. В 1281 году Диниш, которого уже короновали, осадил замок и уже готовился к штурму... И неизвестно, чем бы закончился для братьев этот эпизод, когда накануне штурма в лагерь Диниша прибыло посольство из королевства Арагон с предложением брака Диниша с принцессой Изабеллой (о которой мы будем часто упоминать в связи с историей португальских крепостей)... . Будущая Святая Королева Изабелла способствовала заключению мира между братьями. Но только по условиям мира Афонсу согласился срыть все укрепления. Однако, скоро произошел новый инцидент, связанный с Каштелу-ди-Види. Принц Афонсу заключил брак с принцессой Кастилии. Но их домены стояли слишком близко, к тому же это была граница, что было вдвойне опасно. И король Диниш вынудил своего брата обменять замок Каштелу-ди-Види и его окрестности на земли, более удаленные от границы. В итоге Каштелу-ди-Види перешел в королевскую казну и был передан в управление дону Пирешу Кабралу, деду будущего мореплавателя Педру Кабрала. В этот период замок получил новые башни и стены, линия которых окружает деревню, и которые в прекрасном состоянии сохранились до сих пор. В настоящее время - это национальный памятник, живой свидетель тысячелетней истории Португалии... Здесь время как будто остановилось, как, собственно говоря, и в самой деревне Каштелу-ди-Види с ее стариннейшим еврейским кварталом, который очаровывает своей архаичной живописностью... как, впрочем, и всё...
