Castelo do Queijo

  Castelo do Queijo, positioned along the scenic coastline of Porto, is a striking fortress that dates back to the 17th century. Originally built to defend against attacks from pirates, this historic site now serves as a popular tourist attraction. Its prominent position offers visitors a chance to explore its robust stone walls and enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. During spring months, particularly in April and May, the area around the castle blooms with vibrant flora, making it a lovely backdrop for photography. When visiting, you can wander through the nearby gardens, take in the landscape, or simply relax by the shore along Rua do Ouro.
