PT/BR Na vertente norte da serra de Mogadouro, a antiga vila e seu castelo constituíram, nos alvores da nacionalidade, um importante ponto estratégico sobre a linha lindeira. Comenda da Ordem dos Templários, posteriormente sucedida pela Ordem de Cristo, atualmente inclui-se na Área Turístico-Promocional das Montanhas. O Castelo de Mogadouro foi erguido, de 1160 a 1165. Visando incrementar o povoamento e defesa da região, o rei D. Afonso III (1248-1279) passou Carta de Foral à vila (27 de Dezembro de 1272), título confirmado no ano seguinte (Santarém, 18 de Dezembro de 1273), ampliado com algumas disposições e então comum a Penas Róias. São Mamede de Mogadouro constituía-se numa comenda dos Templários e, nessa época, foi elevada à categoria de priorado da Ordem. Em 1311, diante da extinção da Ordem, os seus domínios (e esta comenda) passaram para a Ordem de Cristo. Actualmente encontra-se bastante derruído.

ENG In the north slope of the Mogadouro mountain range, the old town and its castle were, at the time of nationality, an important strategic point on the lindeira line.

Замок Могадору (Castelo de Mogadouro) был построен на северной стороне горы Могадору (округ Браганса) и предназначался для охраны северо-восточной границы Португалии от вторжений из Кастилии. С VIII века эта местность была населена маврами, которые, как полагают некоторые исследователи, и дали названия многим местным населенным пунктам. Название Могадору указывало на важнейшее стратегическое значение этого места, как бы означая его пунктом (или точкой) над Дору, где проходила так называемая "Мавританская дорога", пересекавшая область с севера на юг и уходившая в Кастилию. Во время христианской Реконкисты окрестности Могадору были ареной многочисленных сражений между христианами и мусульманами, в результате которых регион перешел под контроль португальцев. Главной задачей только что образованного государства Португалия стала оборона столицы - Коимбры. Как известно король Афонсу Энрикеш в осуществлении этой задачи опирался на силы тамплиеров. Так рыцари-храмовники в 1145 году получили гору Могадору, где обязались возвести замок для защиты местности от неприятеля, что они и сделали – замок был построен, и в течение нескольких столетий он рос, обзаводился новыми постройками, среди которых был великолепный дворец, бывший резиденцией градоначальника Могадору. Но, как и все замки Португалии, крепость Могадору со временем утратила свое значение, и постепенно пришла в запустении. В 1950-х годах была предпринята масштабная реконструкция... Но (вот несчастье!) в 1990-х года от рук вандалов пострадала лестница въездной башни и ее ворота. Сейчас от замковых укреплений остались две башни - донжон и часовая башня (с сигнальными колоколами) и...

An important historical monument in the town of Mogadouro. Sadly there is little information at the site itself. Suffice to say this castle has survived for some 900 years. However much of the castle has fallen into ruins after becoming neglected in the 18th century. It has also suffered from vandalism. Nonetheless the castle is worth visiting if only for the views over the surrounding countryside. The castle also acts as a backdrop for outdoor concerts in the...

12. yüzyılda, Portekiz Krallığı’nın sınır kalelerinden biri olarak inşa edilen Castelo de Mogadouro, Reconquista (Yeniden Fetih) döneminde stratejik bir öneme sahipti. Portekiz’in kuruluş sürecinde sık sık askeri saldırılara sahne olan bu bölge, zamanında Tapınak Şövalyeleri’nin yönetimindeydi. 1145 yılında Portekiz Kralı, Mogadouro topraklarını Tapınak Şövalyeleri’ne bağışlamış. 1160 yılında inşa edilen kale, daha sonra Mesih Tarikatı’na devredilmiş, ancak 18. yüzyıldan itibaren savunma işlevini yitirerek harabeye dönüşmüş. Bugün kısmen ayakta olan yapı, Mogadouro ve çevresine hâkim bir manzaraya sahip. Kasabanın diğer önemli tarihi yapılarından biri Torre do Relógio (Saat Kulesi). 18. yüzyılda inşa edilen bu kule, üç bölümlü bir yapıya sahip. Çanların yer aldığı üst kısmında, dört köşesinde granit sivri uçlar bulunan piramit şeklinde bir çatı yer alıyor. Ayrıca Pelourinho de Mogadouro, 16. yüzyılda inşa edilmiş ve geçmişte kraliyet fermanlarının okunduğu, halka açık cezaların uygulandığı bir meydan olarak kullanılmış. Kalenin alt kısmında bulunan Igreja Matriz de Mogadouro, bölgedeki en eski ibadet yerlerinden biri. Orta Çağ’da inşa edilen bu kilise, zamanla çeşitli mimari üsluplarla genişletilmiş ve yenilenmiş.
