The 1st door we have encountered was closed, we thought the castel was closed due to covid. But having a walk on a path around, just by curiosity to see the view, we found an open door. The other one should have a sign informing that there is another entrance available. The place is pretty, it's organized but we felt quite disappointed in term of the information available. There were some pieces around that had no reference or information. Despite that, it's a place to visit and see. The view from the tower top is beautiful (try to imagine what they were able saw in the...

Implanta-se numa colina sobranceira à vila de Pombal, na margem direita do rio Arunca, sendo classificado como Monumento Nacional (Decreto de 16-06-1910, DG, de 23 junho 1910, n.º 136).

A sua construção terá início em 1156, apesar de o território de Soure, onde se insere, ter sido doado à ordem em 1128, constituindo uma das primeiras iniciativas do mestre D. Gualdim Pais à frente da milícia. Apresenta planta ovalada irregular, composta por muralha e dez torres, retangulares ou quadrangulares, a reforçar as suas inflexões ou a longa frente retilínea, a nascente, numa distância média de cerca de 10 metros, aspetos que, segundo Mário Barroca, revelam notável conceção e é invulgar para a época e panorama nacional, fazendo recordar algumas fortalezas almorávidas. Tem paramentos aprumados, com pequeno alambor nos dois panos de muralha que ladeiam a porta, apenas visível após as obras de restauro. Inicialmente teria, pelo menos, uma porta de acesso, rasgada num apertado pano de muralha, flanqueado por torres, à semelhança do que acontece no Castelo de Tomar, tendo sido transferido, no século XVI, o acesso principal para a frente noroeste, um pano de muralha mais desafogado e virado à vila. A torre de menagem só seria construída em 1171, isoladamente e quase em frente da porta, com planta quadrada e paramentos aprumados com alambor pétreo, inspirado nos castelos do Próximo Oriente, sendo menos saliente na face principal, por esta possuir também contrafortes laterais, de modo a conferir maior estabilidade à torre, o que a faz parecer mais larga e menos alta do que realmente é. Tem acesso sobrelevado, na face oposta à entrada do castelo, e possui interiormente três pisos, iluminados por...

Castle Of Pombal

Price: free Time spent: 15-20 min for the castle and 10 min film Parking: available Path for disabled: not available

Around 1128, the Castle of Pombal, which was originally a former Roman Castro and Arab fortress, was donated to the Knights Templar by Afonso Henriques. The construction of the Romanesque fortress began in the middle of the 12th century (in either 1155 or 1156), and continued practically until the century's end; the construction of various towers was made to serve, stabilize, and...

It was actually way better than I expected, exploring all around the castle was very enlightening. The historical context provided by the panels around certain areas, made it more interesting. Inside the castle, a section with a historical guide informs & gives you more information about the history. There is a viewing room 2 short movie clips of history of the castle.

Visitei o Castelo de Pombal com a minha família quando estava a decorrer a Feira/Mercado Medieval em 20/04/24. Estavam a celebrar os 850 anos do Foral Templário de Pombal. Passamos um dia muito agradável repleto de atividades e diversão. Entre as atrações assistimos no palco interior do Castelo: 1. Músicas do Reino com Gaitas e Sirigaitas; 2. Dança medieval com as Bailadeiras do Povo; 3. Dança oriental pelas Odaliscas do mouro; 4. O Voo das Águias. Na Mata do Castelo: Guerreiro por um dia - com arco e flecha Infra estrutura: 1. Parque de estacionamento próximo ao castelo (gratuito aos sábados, domingos e feriados); 2. Casa de banho pública A visita ao castelo é gratuita, bem como as casas de banho. Recomendo vivamente uma visita em qualquer altura do ano. No interior do castelo (ponto de informação turística) passam um curto filme contando a lenda do Castelo e outro filme sobre a história do Castelo em 3D. Também gratuitos. Vale a pena pesquisar se há algum evento no castelo, tal como foi a feira que decorreu em abril. Espero que o meu comentário e fotos tenham ajudado. Aproveitem e divirtam-se. :)
