We saved the best for last for Abandoned Portugal Season 3! Today, we're unraveling the mystique of a breathtaking medieval castle nestled in the Portuguese mountains, forsaken since 2008.

This castle's roots trace back to nobleman Joao, a revered figure in the late medieval era. Built in the 14- and 1500s, and renovated across centuries, its essence reverberates the ancient fortifications of its time—a testament to historic typology and grandeur. Towering structures, annexes, and a private chapel on the same property adorn this historical marvel.

Joao, a Knight of the Order of Christ, shaped its legacy, yet the castle endured periods of desolation. For 120 years in the 19th century, it lay dormant until life returned. But destiny's whims dictated its abandonment once more in 2008.

Stepping into its hallowed halls revealed an astonishing array— dozens of guns, numerous swords, and even a full-size knight's armor were still left behind. Join us now for an unparalleled exploration into the perplexing past of this castle, a grand finale not to be missed in Abandoned Portugal 2023. Gather your popcorn for an unforgettable journey through time.
