Things to see and do Estremoz

The keep of Estremoz Castle houses the Santa Isabel Pousada, one of the most beautiful in Portugal. It was built in the 13th century by King Denis for his second wife Isabella of Aragon. After her death in 1336, the house was transformed into an ammunition depot. Unfortunately, the inevitable happened and, on 17 August 1698, an explosion destroyed most of the castle and its surroundings. It was restored by Joseph I in the 18th century. From the castle, you can admire an unobstructed view of the surrounding area.
