The Royal House of Estremoz Castle houses nowadays a Pousada. Its construction began in the 13th century under D. Sancho III reign, continuing during the reigns of D. Afonso III and D. Dinis. The Royal House was built during the reign of the later. The Holy Queen passed away in this castle. The front of the castle is dominated by a 27m high keep. It has a pentagon-shaped plan, surrounded by a wall reinforced by tower-like wing walls. The keep was totally built in marble blocks. It has three monumental balconies in the third floor. In 1736 D. João V rebuilt the former Royal House of D. Dinis, where he founded the Arms’ Room, a famous arm museum of that time. Part of the castle was destroyed after a gunpowder magazine explosion in 1698. Following the Restoration of Independence (1640), the city was bordered by a bastion-like wall, which remains almost intact nowadays.
