CASTELO MENDO (Portugal): Santa Maria do Castelo churchThe historical small village of Castelo Mendo is a very ancient locality, situated on a granite hill, at about 756 meters high.
For centuries this was a strategic defence point, with difficult accesses, surrounded by an arid and trimmed landscape, and by the river Côa.
Worth to be seen are the village monuments, such as the Castle and Santa Maria do Castelo church from the 13th century.
