Citadel or Neighborhood High

The origins of Lamego date back to the twelfth century, with the construction of a castle on top of a hill (at nearly 550 meters altitude), surrounded by a walled enclosure with several doors. Today, it continues to maintain ancient dwellings in the citadel that's still inhabited. Of course, it's a treat to walk through the narrow, steep streets of this citadel known as "uptown", it's like you've been transported to the Middle Ages, with no stress or technology. Also, there are spectacular views of the "new" city or Barrio Bajo.
