About this Stone
Perched atop a hill overlooking the city, this castle stands as a sentinel to centuries of history, offering a glimpse into Portugal’s rich and storied past. Built in the 11th century by the Moors, it has witnessed countless chapters of local history. From Moorish stronghold to royal residence, its walls have borne witness to triumphs, conquests, and the ebb and flow of time. The penguin stone rests in one of the stone support walls, nestled among the ancient fortifications that have endured for nearly a millennium.
