Castelo de Vide

Yesterday I had the opportunity to accompany Wilhelmina to Castelo de Vide. It is another one of this old little towns, perched with its castle on top of a hill.

It is said to have Roman origins, the castle is Moorish, there are medieval fortifications and a Jewish quarter with steep cobbled streets,

The renaissance fountain Fonte de Vila, the oldest one of the area,  is from theXVI th century, as the waters from this area are reputed to have healing powers.
