Castelo de Portalegre is located on the city´s highest point. In view of the strategic importance, so close to Spain, it was necessary to choose the site to the best advantage. Kin Dinis ordered the castle to be renovated at the end of the 13th and it underwent further alterations at the beginning of the 14th century, when it again became a royal possession. Defensive walls can be seen at the Alegrete, Crato (near the Se) and Devesa Gateways. Tile panels mark the locations of the former entranceways into the city.
