Foz do Douro: Castelo do Queijo

Description

Located just south of the harbour at Matosinhos guarding the entrance to the port this castle houses a small exhibition on some of the arms that might have been used when the castle was a defensive structure. The site also houses a small gift shop and a bar - but the main part of the visit is to head up onto the roof for the excellent views out over the ocean, port and neighbouring area from the battlements.
