Pousada Castelo de Alvito (Town: Alvito)
The castle was built in 1482 for the newly ennobled
Barão de Alvito and is located in the centre of the
small southern Alentejo town which typifies the
region. The castle architecture is a combination of
a Moorish influence with military defence in mind,
blended together with the fact that it was to become
a permanent home of an aristocratic. During the
previous centuries the Kings and Queens of Portugal
were often recorded as being visitors but in 1834
the castle was taken by rebelling Liberal forces.
The castle was from then allowed to fall into
neglect and generally forgotten. The influence of
the Bragança Foundation in the last century rescued
it from its plight and now it is converted into an
attractive Pousada. There are twenty rooms a
restaurant and bar and for the convenience of guests
there is a swimming pool in the castle grounds.
The town is
approximately 148 kms from Lisbon Airport.
