Polygonal castle with a garden, the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Pena and the Renaissance gallery hosting exhibitions.

Here, perched, is a polygonal fortress, rebuilt in 1192 by Sancho I, son of Afonso Henriques who conquered it in 1135. It was during the reign of Denis I that the castle became a royal residence and the keep was built. Today, the enclosure includes a vast garden and the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Pena as well as a splendid Renaissance gallery used for exhibitions and offering a panoramic view. Access to Leiria Castle is now possible by taking the free funicular from the stadium parking lot.

Très beau chateau situé sur les hauteurs de Leiria. Le chateau est très bien conservé et la visite permet d'avoir un panomara à 360° sur toute la ville de Leiria (centre-ville, stade, et les alentours).
Je recommande cette visite pour l'aspect culturel et le panorama.
