Portugal, Braganca-Fortress

The origins of the town of Braganca go back to a series of fortified structures that were changed in the time of King Dom Afonso I into a proper walled citadel by his brother-in-law Fernao Mendes . Completed around 1130 the place was named "Brigantia" and within its walls in 1187 Dom Sancho I built the castle that still remains. The fortified nucleus of Braganca was built in the 12th century and was the property of the Benedictine monks of the Castro de Avela Monastery. The fortress was rebuilt and reinforced by late 14th century. In the center of the castle's four cylindrical towers, rises the keep (Torre de Menagem). The walls include 15 cubels and three gates, and are crowned by a patrol path.
