Castelo do Porto Velho

data access 86685

Settlement with two lines of walls, probably from the Iron Age, and later romanized, located on the right bank of the Nabão river. Located on an elevation with good command of the landscape, it controls the entrance to the middle section of the Nabão river, and the passages to the west ensured by the valleys of the Olival, Caxarias and Sabacheira streams. At the foot of the hill, there are traces of coal mines that operated in the 20th century.
