Sabugal Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built on the Côa River, Sabugal Castle preserves centuries of borders and memory. Once part of the Kingdom of León, it passed to Portugal in 1297 and became a strategic staging ground for the Portuguese-British troops during the Third French Invasion.

Today, it continues to stand as a living testament to the long history of one of Europe's oldest nations.

Barragem do Sabugal

Highlight • Lake

Built on the Côa River, its main function is the production of hydroelectric energy and, to a lesser extent, the water supply and regulation of the river flow.

Completed in 2000, its creation gave rise to a reservoir that is partially located within the Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve, a protected area of great ecological importance

Torre

Highlight • Settlement

In the heart of the municipality of Sabugal, stands the small village of Torre. Today, few people live here, mostly people who keep the tradition of agriculture and livestock alive.

In August, however, the village takes on a new life: the grand festivities in honor of Our Lady of Fátima fill the streets with color, faith, and celebration.
