I visited today, very soon before the afternoon closing period. It was a stormy day! Well... Wow! I don't know the name of the very kind lady there, who welcomed me and toured me around the ground floor, but she was an amazing ambassador... not only for the castle, but for Portugal itself. I can't imagine a better person to convey the history and spirit of the site and the country itself. I've been visiting for some time but speaking with her today was one of my favorite experiences, and of course the castle itself is amazing. This is different from other surrounding forts and castles I've seen. It's a different style, rounded and so perfectly framed at the top of a hill. There was nobody there on my visit. Truly an amazing part of the Portuguese landscape and rich history. It was such a pleasure to walk around and explore the castle and surrounding area. I'm driving all over this country, and this experience stood out to me for the history, the architecture, and the natural surroundings. ...

Castelo de Évora Monte

Type: castle / tower Time spent: 30-40 min Path for disabled: not available Parking: available, small Bike parking: not available Price: 1.5 EUR - the main tower (!) Main tower is closed on Mondays Public transport: from Estremoz (3.25 EUR) / Évora, bus, 3 times per day

Built in 12th century, it was reconstructed several times. The main updates were done in the 14th century, when the medieval city was surrounded by walls, and in the 16th city, when the castle was reconstructed after the earthquake (1531).

The unusual construction of the main tower can be related to the updated military necessaries of those times (16-17 centuries). In the 19th century the city lost it's importance and it's municipal...

Замок Эвора-Монте (Castelo de Évora Monte) - еще одно замечательное сооружение в городке Эштремош (округ Эвора). Находящиеся здесь фортификационные сооружения, построенные еще в XIII веке, были почти полностью разрушены землетрясением 1531 года. То, что осталось после этого бедствия - это стены длиной около 1000 метров, окружающие деревушку Эвору-Монте. Вход в замок был возможен через несколько ворот, одни из которых - Porta do Freixo - сохранились, и представляют собой две цилиндрические зубчатые башни с проемом в виде готической арки. Ну, а главной жемчужиной замка Эвора-Монте является укрепленный дворец, который спустя год после землетрясения построил генерал-капитан Теодосиу де Браганса, чья семья владела этими землями. Дворец признан сейчас одной из жемчужин португальской военной архитектуры. Возможно, автором проекта были братья Дьогу и Франсишку де Арруда (архитекторы Беленской башни). Герцогский дворец имеет квадратную планировку с круглыми башнями по углам. По существу - это донжон. В плане архитектуры дворец сочетает в себе элементы готического стиля со стилем Возрождения. На внешних стенах дворца-крепости мы видим поэтажное разделение (модулировку), визуально оформленную в виде веревки, опоясывающей стены и завязанной на морские узлы, характерные для стиля мануэлино... Внутри угловых круглых башен дворца под куполом находятся дворцовые залы, расположенные друг над другом на трех этажах. Залы перекрыты сводами, которые поддерживают массивные колонны. И хотя этот замок утратил свое военное значение, в его стенах в 1834 году была подписана Конвенция, положившая конец Мигеллистским войнам (достаточно длительной Гражданской войне между сторонниками конституционной монархии и...

Dos mais bonitos que já vi, tão diferente de todos os outros. "A cerca medieval de Evoramonte foi mandada construir em 1306, no reinado de D. Dinis (r. 1279-1325). O perímetro amuralhado forma um triângulo isósceles cujo lado maior segue a linha NE-SO. Mantém ainda as suas quatro portas principais e um postigo: a porta do Freixo, com arco gótico sem impostas e protegida por dois torreões cilíndricos, está orientada a Sul e tem uma inscrição que corresponde ao início da construção da cerca; a porta do Sol, muito semelhante à anterior, está orientada a Oeste; a porta de São Brás está orientada no sentido da ermida com o mesmo nome e ainda mantém as suas munhoneiras (encaixes para o eixo de um canhão, também designados por munhões); a porta de São Sebastião tem acesso directo por estrada à ermida do mesmo orago, sendo que aquela denota influências quatrocentistas ou quinhentistas. A Torre/Paço Ducal é um bom exemplar de arquitectura quinhentista, construído, em princípio depois do terramoto de 1531, pelos mestres Diogo e Francisco de Arruda, sendo o senhor da vila, na altura, D. Jaime, duque de Bragança. Segundo o historiador de arte Paulo Pereira, a sua planta centrada é provavelmente a sua característica mais marcante, que derivará tanto dos edifícios militares tradicionais, como de edifícios sagrados e funerários, estes mais comuns nesta época. De qualquer forma, os conceitos estéticos manuelinos estão ainda presentes, apesar de, provavelmente, este edifício ter sido construído no reinado de D. João III (r. 1521-1557), período normalmente designado por Tardo-Manuelino." Informação do site CM de Estremoz

In general, almost nothing special inside except the gorgeous view from the top. Anyway, the price is not big and it worth it going, at least to support all work they do to keep it well. Also, jfyi, not dog friendly. But, in general the castle is absolutely beautiful from the outside. It looks so unusual compared to other castles in Portugal. Also this village inside the walls - so beautiful and so big pleasure to walk around. Absolutely worth visiting!
