Замок Каштелу-Родригу (Castelo de Castelo Rodrigo) находится в округе Гуарда, на северо-востоке Португалии. История этого замка теряется в легендах, которые приписывают создание замка вестготам. А в начале XIII века небольшая гуардианская деревушка с кое-какими оборонительными сооружениями принадлежала королевству Леон. Затем леонский король пожаловал замок и местность графу Родриго Гонсалесу де Хирон, от которого и пошло это название Каштелу-Родригу. Тесное соседство с Испанией постоянно влияло как на судьбу самого замка, так и на судьбу живших в этой местности людей.Эта местность была ареной постоянных споров с Португалией, и, в конце концов, в 1296 году была завоевана королем Динишем I, который инициировал укрепление деревни и замка мощными строениями. А во время династического кризиса хозяева Каштелу-Родригу присягнули на верность принцессе Беатрисе и ее мужу - королю Кастилии... Они никак не ожидали, что Жуаан, магистр Ордена Св. Бенедикта Ависского, победит кастильские войска в битве при Алжубарроте в 1385 году и будет провозглашен королем Португалии. Новый король не простил измену роду Родригу и приказал, чтобы отныне их герб изображался в перевернутом виде. Замок и деревня были тоже наказаны - лишены королевской поддержки, что привело к упадку... Когда Португалия утратила свою независимость и была присоединена к Испании, тогдашний хозяин замка Криштован ди Мора присягнул на верность испанскому королю. Однако местное население не простило ему этой измены: его дворец был подожжен, а развалины на вершине горы до сих пор напоминают об этом.. В настоящее время городок Каштелу-Родриго сохраняет характерные средневековые черты: он окружен стенами, внутри которых множество интересных построек: собственно руины дворца, несколько великолепных церквей и часовен, часовая башня, позорный столб и традиционная для замка каменная...

Todays trip was to Castelo Rodrigo. An 11th century town with only 469 residents. High in the mountains on the Portugal / Spain border, this is a residential town. In fact, you can buy a place here but should probably skip the winters. We have been to plenty of “old towns” that were filled with shops and restaurants, but this is simply home to less than 500 people. Old, historic, quaint with picturesque views. The church in the town is literally built into...

Wonderful place to visit while in Largo do Pelourinho. Save time to visit the local shops near the entrance. Incredible Cork pocketbooks, Port Wine and seasoned almonds. Prices are reasonable as well!! We saved on purchasing two Backpack pocketbooks for my kids. The owner gave me a cork pen with my purchase. Also was able to purchase a gift pack of Port Wine and several samples of flavors almonds. The guides were very knowledgeable and the tour was...

The village has an interesting history. We had a pleasant walk around, visiting the church, cistern, ruins and various other buildings and landmarks. The most popular shop that sold drinks and food and had nice places to sit, was a madhouse. About 8 coach loads of tourists arrived at around the same time and everybody seemed to be trying to fit into the building. There are a few other shops that sold almonds, cork goods and other goods and souvenirs.
