The Templar Almourol Castle is one of the most known and interesting to visit in Portugal because it stands in a small rocky island in the middle of Tagus River.
The origins of this fortification are a Lusitanian Castro conquered by the Romans in the 2nd century before Christ.
Stage of large battles and some legends of tragic passions (forbidden loves stories that even gave names to surrounding villages) the scenario is really adequate to these stories. The views from its towers (especially the taller one) are very beautiful and the island, with its luxurious vegetation, adds much to the mystery felt. The visit to this castle is made by crossing the river in a small old traditional boat, which circles around the island before leaving the passengers ashore.
