Finally, I'm coming to an end with Portugal🇵🇹 for now. This castle🏰 in the North of the country has a spectacular view🔭 with what looks like a mountain lake🗻 as a backdrop. The lake is actually the Lima river, which has been pent up by the Alto Lindoso dam (pics 8 & 9). You can also see the stone graneries again, from which there are a couple dozen in front of Castello Lindoso. The medieval castle🏛️ was built in the 13th century as well, although little is known of the early era. It is believed the fortress was started under the reign of Afonso III of Portugal👑, entered in strengthening efforts of the defensive system of borders🛡️, undertaken by that ruler. The castle saw a defensive state in the Napoleonic Wars⚔️ but never saw action. It has never been used since. Peacetime took its toll. Neglect and lack of maintenance saw the castle slowly wear away from the weather and elements. The Castle of Lindoso was declared a National Monument by the Portuguese Government in a decree on June 23, 1910. -- #MedievalCastles #MedievalCastlesOfEurope #Medieval #DefensiveStructure #CastlesOfInstagram #afonsoiii #NapoleonicWars #CastlesOfPortugal #Lindoso #vianadocastelo🇵🇹 #vianadocastelo❤️ #vianadocasteloportugal #CasteloLindoso #NationalMonument #NationalMonumentPortugal #CastleOfLindoso #Burg #Mittelalter #Burgen #burgenundschlösser (at Lindoso, Viana Do Castelo, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/COOFpjHJInP/?igshid=iw2gl3m24swk
