Built in 1160, in the former place of an important ancient village, Mogadouro Castle integrated the first defense line of castles that protected Portugal Northeast region. Soon after its construction, King D. Dinis donated this castle to the Templar Order and only a few years later, it would become property of the Order of Christ. It suffered several renewals in the 14th century. In the 17th century, the clock tower was constructed. Several years later, it would be severely damaged by a particularly harsh Winter. In the present day, Mogadouro Castle preserves its keep and a rectangular battlement in the highest part of the castle. (National Monument)
