Castle of Viana de Alentejo

Review & FAQ:

The Castle of Viana de Alentejo was designed in the early thirteenth century. It features a distinctive irregular pentagonal wall with cylindrical towers at each point.

• The ancient cross of Viana do Alentejo sits roughly the center point.
• The fortified castle was created with a plethora of gothic themes and inspirations, including a wide gothic-style arch and, later on in its lifetime in 1521, a parochial church of Manueline style was erected by master craftsman, Diogo de Arruda, within the castle’s walls.
• Arruda also created the second church for the castle, the Church of the Misericórdia.
• The castle itself was then used as municipal offices until the late seventeenth century, at which point it was largely left alone until renovations began in the latter part of the twentieth century.
