As I read about the history of the castle, I was increasingly moved by all the centuries of history that are within the walls. When you look at a castle, you think that it is a medieval construction, but many times the history dates back to before Christ, for example, it is believed that this castle had its foundation in prehistory due to the archaeological material that was discovered here, there are jugs that date back to civilization: (Romanesque), and of course it could have been the first construction of the Roman town to defend the city and the quarries, since that height was already working with stones (Source: Wikipedia)🚩🌏🚗
Mientras leia sobre la historia del castillo cada vez me emocionaba mas de todos los siglos de historia que hay entre las murallas, cuando observas un castillo piensas que es una construccion medieval pero muchas veces la historia viene desde muy antes de Cristo, por ejemplo se cree que este castillo tuvo su fundacion en la prehistoria debido al material arqueologico que aqui se descubrio, hay jarras que remontan de la civilizacion: (Romanica), y claro pudo ser la primera construccion del pueblo romano para defenderl a ciudad y las canteras pues desde esa altura ya se trabajaba con piedras (Source: Wikipedia)🏰🧭

Some archaeological vestiges🧠🔬
I'm a fan of medieval history and archeology... Well, you already know from my post! I loved that the castle has 3 sections intended for the exhibition of historical-archaeological material that was obtained in various excavations in the castle grounds. After the Romans, the castle was modified as a defense structure for the city by the Visigothic civilizations. and arabicas. But it was in the 11th century when the castle would have a potential historical value for the Portuguese troops.🕵️♂️🥽
soy fan de historia medieval y arqueologia... Bueno ya lo sabes por mis post! me encanto que el castillo tiene 3 secciones destinadas para la exhibicion de material historico-arqueologico que se fueron consiguiendo en varias excavaciones en los suelos del castillo, posterior a los romanos el castillo fue modificado como una estructura de defensa a la ciudad por las civilizacions visigoda y arabicas. Pero fue en el siglo XI cuando el castillo tendria un potencial valor historico para las tropas portuguesas.🧠
Iberian conquest🧭🏰🧠/ Conquista iberica🌏🚗
(The history of this castle was remembered by the Portuguese in 1940), nice words! We all know that Portugal was one of the first countries in Europe to be founded as a nation and throughout its history it was known for being a world power, having its greatest peak between the 15th and 16th centuries. In the year (1112-1185) the Christian warlike movement to conquer the warlike peninsula took place and was commanded by Dalfonso, the territory was included up to the Tagus river, Porto de Mos played an important role in the defense of the territories of Coimbra and Leiria, so we think that some battles were fought in the castle in the 11th century🚩🌏🚗
(La historia de este castilla fue recordada por los portugueses en 1940), bonitas palabras! todos sabemos que Portugal fue uno de los primeros paises de europa en ser fundado como nacion y durante toda su historia fue conocido por ser una potencia mundial teniendo su mayor auge entre los siglos XV-XVI. En el ano (1112-1185) ocurrio el movimiento belico cristiano de conquista de la peninsula belica y fue comandado por D alfonso, el territorio fue comprendido hasta el rio Tajo, Porto de Mos tuvo un papel importante en la defensa de los territorios de Coimbra y Leiria, por lo que pensamos que se libraron algunas batallas en el castillo en el siglo XI🏰🏰
Let's continue with this interesting story after it was conquered by Alfonso in 1148 from the Moors, later other wars were fought in which the Arabs managed to recover the castle again, in the withdrawal the historical character D Fuas assembled his army again and would return to reconquer the castle for the second time but this would be final. Between the years 1185-1211 the town around the castle began to prosper and grow and the castle received some improvements and updates as it was the main defensive point of the village.🚩🧭🌏
Continuemos con esta historia interesante luego de ser conquistada por Alfonso en 1148 a los Moros posteriormente se libraron otras guerras en las cuales los arabes consiguieron recuperar el castillo nuevamente, en la retirada el personaje historico D Fuas armo su ejercito nuevamente y volveria para reconquistar el castillo por segunda vez pero esta si seria definitiva. Entre los anos 1185-1211 la ciudad alrededor del castillo comenzo a prosperar y crecer y el castillo recibio algunas mejoras y actualizaciones pues era el principal punto defensivo de la aldea.🧭🌏🏰
First Portuguese village🧭🏰🧠/Primera villa Portuguesa🌏🚗
This is what the city would look like and still looks like from the walls, let's remember that historically a castle was almost always built on the highest points of the cities, usually on hills or mountains, it was important that they have access to a 360 degree view! This village was interesting because it was one of the oldest to last for many generations in the place, as well as being the only Portuguese city to become a municipality of its own free will! this in the thirteenth century🌏🧭🚩
Es asi como se veria y aun se ve la ciudad desde las murallas, recordemos que historicamente un castillo casi siempre era construido en los puntos mas altos de las ciudades normalmente en colinas o montanas, era importante que tengan acceso a una vista de 360grados! esta aldea fue interesante porque fue una de las mas antiguas en perdurar por muchas generaciones en el lugar ademas de ser la unica ciudad portuguesa en tornarse por voluntad propia un municipio! esto en el siglo XIII🚗🏰
rest of a tombstone🧠🔬
While I was walking through the castle I saw more than 5 structures that looked like a pillar to support the walls but in reality some of them were pieces of tombs dating from the Romanesque era, the constitution was mainly made of calcareous rock that abounds in the area. And of course we see the photo of the entrance to the castle🕵️♂️🚗
mientras caminaba por el castillo vi mas de 5 estructuras que parecian un pilar de soporte a las paredes pero en realidad algunas de ellas eran pedazos de tumbas que databan algunas de la era romanica, la constitucion era principalmente por roca calcarea que abunda en la zona. Y claro vemos la foto de la entrada hacia el castillo 🧠

Coming to the present in the 20th century the castle is classified as a national monument, there is a combination of architecture in the castle from Gothic to Renaissance, obviously depending on which floor of the castle you are on! I had no luck going to the patio where there is a very beautiful fountain. I had walked 7 km and I was exhausted. I left it for the next time, but I invite you to visit it, it is five stars! you can pay the entrance in cardboard, it has parking, the city of Mos is quite nice.🧭🌏🏰
