Built on top of a hill in a strategic point of defense, on remains dating from the Bronze Age and Roman times, Castelo Mendo is a historical village surrounded by walls rebuilt in the 12th century by order of D. Sancho I king of Portugal. The village, surrounded by walls with six medieval gates (the main one flanked by two crests), consists of simple stone houses, originally of two floors, the ground floor being used for livestock, and the upper floor for housing. The extremely narrow streets, facilitated the defense of the village that was the scene of fights during the wars in which Portugal participated, especially those involving the Portuguese and Spanish. Recently the village has been restored, acquiring some of its original features, and it is a real journey back in time to cross the walls that surround it.
