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.

Portezuelo Castle, also known as Marmionda Castle, is an ancient fortress located in the municipality of Portezuelo, in the province of Cáceres. The construction of the castle dates back to the 12th century. During this time, the Almohads invaded al-Andalus (1147), putting an end to the Almoravid empire. In 1167, the Christian king of León, Ferdinand II, conquered the castle and gave it to the Knights Templar. However, in 1196, the Almohads recovered it. Finally, in 1213, Alfonso IX of León definitively reconquered it and handed it over to the Order of San Julián del Pereiro, later known as the Order of Alcántara. Throughout its history, the castle underwent various renovations, the 16th century being the last of some importance. Unfortunately, it was abandoned in the second half of the 17th century.
