What To Expect
Join us on this tour to experience the enchantment of the medieval village and castle of Marvão.
The construction of Marvão’s castle is attributed to Ibn Marwan in the 9th century. Three centuries later, Christian forces loyal to Afonso I, the first king of Portugal, conquered the town and its surrounding region. Marvão was particularly important due to its close proximity to the Spanish border and defensive location.
While Marvão’s castle is medieval, this tour will discuss the region's prehistoric past, in addition to its Roman period of occupation, and medieval history as well.
Today, Marvão provides the visitor an opportunity to visit the castle and its walls, its two encircled courtyards, its various towers, a well-preserved cistern, beautiful gardens, and a medieval town.
