Castro of Cidadelhe

The Castro of Cidadelhe is a Portuguese castro in civil parish of Cidadelhe, in the municipality of Mesão Frio [1]. Cidadelhe was a fortified settlement of a proto-historic nature, later occupied by Roman and Medieval residents [1]. The castro is located in an isolated rural environment on a hilltop [1]. Two lines of walls encircle the castle and roadways/paths, composed of schist rock [1]. In the interior of the ruins are several remains of residences, of a circular design, excavated by recent archaeologists [1].
