Belmonte Caste - Belmonte - Portugal
antoniolouro > albums > Castles of Portugal (Europe)
Album Info:
Set at the foot of the Serra da Estrela mountainous range, Belmonte was for long the fiefdom of a noble family named Cabral, known for their bravery in battle; one of its members was the navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral, who discovered Brazil in 1500. The family crest may be seen at the Castle, dating from 1266, which still preserves the original keep and a beautiful Manueline window sculpted in granite. Nearby, the 15th-century Cabrais Chapel lodges the family tombs.
