For decades it lay forgotten, becoming a remote ruin visited by few. Recently, however, Mirabel Castle (or what remains of it) has become one of the attractions in this part of the Monfragüe Biosphere Reserve. Located on a hilltop in the mountains, the castle's imposing defensive structure offers magnificent views of the Tagus River stretching out below.

I don't know whose idea it was to restore the northwest tower so badly, a crime in plain sight... Today they are working on the "restoration" of the barbican. Alfonso II, in 877, failed to conquer the fortress of Portezuelo. In the month of July 997, when Almanzor crossed the Alconeter bridge and through Coria and the castle of Portezuelo he reached Santiago of Compostela. Conquered by Ferdinand II of León in 1166 and lost in 96. In 1219 Diego Sánchez, master of Alcántara, took it again: “he left Çamora with a large army against the Moors who still had much of Estremadura belonging to their conquest and the master with his knights and vassals joined the king in the city of Coria. From there the army left together and laid siege to a castle. called Portillo, which were a Sierra not far from Ceclavin. They beat him for combat and captured more than two hundred Moors in it." According to sources, the castle had an Arab and Christian population until 1386.
