Good morning, a big hug to my fellow travelers! Today we added another castle to my collection; it's number 49, and I'm almost certain that I'm officially the person who has visited the most castles in Portugal. I just need to officially register this record with the Portuguese tourism website, but first I want to continue visiting more. For this odyssey, we had to travel hundreds of kilometers to the Braga district, to the village called Arnoia, which is also the name of the castle. This beautiful fortified structure is also known as "Castelo dos Moros" (Castle of the Moors). Don't miss my post to learn more.🌻🌏

Where is the castle located?🌍🚙/ Donde se ubica el castillo?📍🧭
The castle is also known as "moreira," so if you see this sign, don't worry. I'm telling you now that this area has no public transport, and I admit it's one of the most isolated villages I've been to in Portugal. Therefore, you can only access it with a rental car if you're on holiday in northern Portugal. After parking the vehicle in the village, you'll have to walk a kilometer along a path.🧭🗺️
El castillo es tambien conocido como "moreira" por eso si ves este letrero no te preocupes, desde ya te digo que esta zona no tiene transporte publico y reconozco que es una de las aldeas mas aisladas que ya fui en Portugal, por tanto eso te dice que solo podras acceder a el con un vehiculo alquilado si estas de vacaciones al norte de Portugal, luego de aparcar el vehiculo en la aldea tendras que hacer una sendero de un kilometro.🏰🌄

Path to the castle🌍🚙/ Sendero al castillo📍🧭
We're in the village and we can see the castle in the distance. This is one of the tallest I've visited in Portugal, standing at over 576 meters, and one of its main attractions is the breathtaking panoramic view from up there! By the way, you have to be prepared because the path is quite steep and I don't recommend it for people with disabilities.🏰🗺️
estamos en la aldea y podemos ver a lo lejos el castillo, este es uno de los mas altos que ya visite en Portugal ubicandose a mas de 576 metros, y uno de los actractivos son las vistas panoramicas alla arriba que nos quita el aliento! por cierto tienes que estar preparado porque el camino es algo empinado y no lo recomiendo a personas con discapacidades.🌏🚙
History of the Castle🏰🗺️ / Historia del Castillo🌄🧭
The castle stands on a hill with a strategic view of the surrounding villages. In 1946, the castle was classified as a national monument. There are no official records of when the first civilization appeared in the Arnoia area, but there is a theory that, since the Romans occupied the nearby regions, it also makes sense that they first settled in the area of the castle. However, without archaeological evidence, it is difficult to prove!🗺️🏰
El castillo se levanta en una colina con vista estrategica a las aldeas de los alrededores, en 1946 el castillo fue clasificado como monumento nacional, no hay registro oficiales de cuando aparece la primera civilizacion en la zona de Arnoia pero existe una teoria que como los Romanos ocuparon las regiones cercanas tambien tiene sentido que se asentaran por primera vez en la zona del castillo, pero sin evidencia arqueologica es dificil de comprobar!🚙🚩
The most interesting facts about the castle are its construction dating back to the 10th to 11th century, possibly to safeguard the monastery. There are many strange stories about the castle, but no particular war is recounted, so let's just say that this castle "didn't see much action in its day."🏰🗺️🧭
Los datos mas interesantes del castillo son su construccion que remonta del siglo X al siglo XI posiblemente para salvaguardar el monasterio, hay muchas historias extranas sobre el castillo pero no se relata una guerra en particular por ello digamos que este castillo no "tuvo mucha accion en sus dias",🌄🌏🏔️
The castle required some construction on the terrain to hinder access to future invasions, and in turn, the base where it was built also required a great deal of architectural ingenuity due to the irregularity of the terrain. The wall is quite small and peculiar due to its construction in granite and a reinforcement with a bastion. The gate is located to the south and has an access staircase. This area was well protected to safeguard the keep.🧭🗺️
El castillo requirio algunas construcciones en el terreno para dificultar el acceso a futura invaciones y a su vez la base donde fue construido tambien requirio mucha inteligencia arquitectonica por la irregularidad del terreno, la muralla bastante pequena y peculiar por su construccion en granito y un refuerzo con baluarte, la puerta esta ubicada hacia al sur y tiene una escalera de acceso, esta zona estaba bien protegida para salvaguardar la torre del homenaje🏰🚩
The castle has three floors inside, including a basement. All of them had beds in the past, and it is assumed that royalty or feudal lords lived here. This is what differentiates Arnoia Castle from a simple fortress. In the middle of the courtyard is the well where water was collected for the garrison. It was usually filled with rainwater, or sometimes it had groundwater, but this possibility was less common🏰🗺️.
El castillo tiene en el interior 3 plantas incluyendo un sotano, todas tenian camas en la epoca y se supone que aqui vivia la realeza o personas feudales, y esto es lo que diferencia el castillo de Arnoia con una simple fortaleza, en el medio del patio se encuentra el pozo donde se recolectaba agua para la guarnicion, normalmente se llenaba con agua de lluvia o aveces disponia de agua subterraneo pero esta posibilidad era mas escasa🏔️🧭
