CASTELO DE LEIRIA
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.
