Castle of Marvão

​Castelo de Marvão is an absolutely spectacular site and an essential stop when visiting the region. The castle itself is beautifully preserved, offering visitors a fascinating look at medieval military architecture, but the true highlight is the breathtaking panoramic view from the ramparts. On a clear day, the vistas stretch for miles across the Alentejo plains and into Spain. There is small but well-stocked gift shop near the entrance; (gotta get my fridge magnet)

Well for a small fee this is great. The views especially on a nice day would be fantastic. Large castle and the cistern has the best echo. The view of the town from here is also worth it.

Beautiful castle with great views across the entire area.

Small charge to get in and dog friendly.

What a beautiful experience! We dropped our car before entering the city (highly recommend) and walked to the castle. There is a lovely cafe halfway, perfect for a drink with a beautiful view. The castle is so beautiful and in such a good state considering how old it is. To enter you pay a fee of 1,50€ and after you can explore the castle. We spend almost 1,5 hours walking around. You can also get some souvenirs towards the other side of the castle. We were lucky to be there during the filmfestival and enjoyed a magical night watching a movie and enjoying some fado music. Obrigado!❤️

Very large castle perched at the top of this quaint town overlooking the surrounding countryside plains , the views from all higher points in the castle are awesome . There’s a €1.50 entry fee to the castle and it is well worth it . You can walk around the walls by beware there are no guard rails . It is well maintained and restored/preserved. This is a definitely must see .
