If we want to visit the beautiful castle of Beja, we must drive to the south of Portugal and stop in the Alentejo region, which is very famous for its wines and its landscape of extensive plains! was built in the small town of Beja! about 160km from Lisbon!🧭🚩😜
Si queremos visitar el hermoso castillo de Beja debemos conducir hacia el sur de Portugal y detenernos en la region de alentejo que es muy famosa por sus vinos y su paisaje de extensas planicies! fue construido en la pequena ciudad de Beja! a unos 160km de Lisboa!πŸš™πŸš©πŸ§­

There is a lot of history between the walls of this castle and the city that borders it, since many centuries ago the Beja region had been occupied by nomadic settlers! there are records that mention that the area had been occupied since prehistory and between the 3rd and 4th centuries the construction of this fortification had been carried out!πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ“
Hay mucha historia entre las murallas de este castillo y la ciudad que lo bordea y es que desde hace muchos siglos atras ya la region de Beja habia sido ocupada por pobladores nomadas! hay registros que hacen mencion de que la zona habia sido ocupada desde la prehistoria y entre los siglos III y IV se habia realizado la construccion de esta fortificacion!πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»πŸ˜²

Although it is believed that the castle could have been built in the Romanesque era, there is no document that mentions such construction, so there is speculation about its origin, making the castle a great mystery! since with the passing of centuries it underwent several restorations and improvements! Many battles took place between the walls as the castle belonged to the Arabs for a long time! and some kings of Portugal tried to conquer it many times! without any success!🚩🧭🏯🏰
Apesar que se cree que el castillo pudo ser construido en la era romanica no hay un documento que mencione tal construccion por lo que se especula sobre su origen haciendo del castillo un gran misterio! ya que con el pasar de siglos fue sufriendo varias restauraciones y mejoras! se llevaron a cabo muchas batallas entre las murallas ya que el castillo pertenecio por mucho tiempo a los arabes! y algunos reyes de Portugal lo intentaron conquistar muchas veces! sin tener exito alguno!πŸ‘ΈπŸ€΄

Until in 1162 King Fernando G, achieved victory against the Arabs and managed to conquer the castle! Anyone who knows history knows that the Arabs were not a difficult tribe to defeat and after a few years the castle was reconquered by the Arabs and then in 1200 the castle passed definitively to Portugal!πŸ‘ΈπŸ€΄πŸ‘³β€β™‚οΈ
Hasta que en 1162 el rey Fernando G, consigue la victoria contra los arabes y logra conquistar el castillo! quien conoce de historia sabe que los arabes no fueron una tribu dificil de vencer y pasado algunos anos el castillo es reconquistado por los arabes y luego en 1200 es que el castillo pasa definitivamente al poder Portugal!πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

One of the things that made the castle suffer from several reconstructions was its location! Beja was an area that was under Arab rule from 700 to 1200 we are talking about many centuries, so many battles took place throughout the peninsula! even the Spanish arrived in the area to fight the Arabs who also had to defend themselves from the Portuguese attack!πŸ’₯
Una de las cosas que hizo al castillo sufrir de varias reconstrucciones era por su ubicacion! Beja era una zona que estaba en dominio arabico desde el 700 hasta el 1200 estamos hablando de muchos siglos, por lo que sucedieron muchas batallas en toda la peninsula! hasta los Espanoles llegaron a la zona para combatir a los arabes quien tambien debieron defenderse del ataque portugues!πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»πŸ°πŸ§­

If you intend to visit the castle, I inform you that it is not easy to park your vehicle! so you must prepare to pay for a parking lot, I also inform you that the entrance is not free and has a cost of 3 euro! but it is worth the experience. I liked it a lot. It has a beautiful view of the entire city of Beja and we can see the Alentejo lands!πŸ€©πŸ‘€
Si pretendes visitar el castillo desde ya te informo que no es nada facil estacionar tu vehiculo! por lo que debes prepararte para pagar por un estacionamiento, tambien te informo que la entrada no es gratuita y tiene un costo de 3 euro! pero vale la pena la experiencia me gusto mucho tiene una hermosa vista hacia toda la ciudad de Beja y podemos ver las tierras alentejanas!πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜œπŸ€‘

I would like to add that the castle has a tower called "torre del homage" and it was inspired by Don Dinis, it is very famous for its beautiful architecture considered an example of the medieval style! It is more than 45 meters high, being one of the highest in Beja! We can still see evidence of a great wall that surrounded the city of Beja in the medieval era!😏😏
