The castle, despite being officially built in the 13th century, was previously inhabited by some communities in the region and dates back to prehistoric times. The city and the castle gained power and interest when the Romans colonized the Alentejo region, as there are many settlements to extract. minerals and this strengthened the Roman Empire, which tells us that Portugal was connected to Hispania by a set of roads which marketed different types of resources!🧭🌏🧠

Lo interesante de la historia donde se edifico el castillo es que cada civilizacion que ocupaba el territorio dejo una huella en el tiempo que aun perdura, luego de la caida de los Romanos, se ocupo el area por vicigodos, germanicos, analos, vandalos, hasta llegar a los mas recientes y con los que Portugal libraria cientos de batallas los Moros, ellos serian quienes levantarian una primera fortificacion en el castillo! esto en el siglo VIII despues de cristo👀🚩
In the year 1160, an excursion was made by the troops of the crusaders led by the conqueror D. Alfonso. When they went beyond the Portuguese lands near the Guadiana River, they sighted the fortress that at that time belonged to the Arabs, in the year 1185 Alfonso conquers the castle and the lands of Serpa in a bloody battle, but luck would not last long as the Muslim troops of "Iacube Almançor" would reconquer the castle in the year 1195, so it would only remain in the hands of the Portuguese for 10 years.👨🏫🧠🌏🧭

Portuguese vs Muslims🙇♂️🚙/ Portugueses vs Musulmanes🏰🍍
This is the entrance to the castle, a wall that gives the impression of falling but in reality it is more than 500 years old and is still preserved, it was probably broken by the earthquake of the 17th century or perhaps it is a demonstration of the battles that took place here. For hundreds of years, Sancho III would not sit idly by losing his castle in 1195 and organized one of the bloody battles in the southern part of the country, conquering Serpa and several cities in Alentejo, handing the castle over to Don Fernando.🧭🏰📚
Esta es la entrada hacia el castillo una muralla que da la impresion de caer pero en realidad tiene mas de 500 años asi y aun se conserva, probablemente se rompio con el terremoto del siglo XVII o quizas es una demostracion de las batallas que se llevaron aqui por cientos de años, Sancho III no se quedaria de brazos cruzados al perder su castillo en el 1195 y organizo una de las batallas sangrientas de la zona sur del pais, conquistando serpa y varias ciudades de Alentejo, entregando el castillo a Don Fernando. 🙇♂️🚩👨🏫
Portuguese vs Castile🙇♂️🚙/ Portugueses vs Castilla🏰🍍
Between the marriages between the kings of Portugal and the Spanish, several divisions of territories were made, including the Spanish who came to possess the castle. However, in the 1385th century, the Avis conquered the castle for the Portuguese and it would be a good strategic base since it would be very close. from Spain! Since the lands were devastated by numerous battles against the Spanish and French, it was difficult for the city to grow, however the castle was increasingly fortified! to the point where all the male inhabitants of Serpa were soldiers.🏰🙇♂️🍍
Entre los matrimonios entre los reyes de Portugal y los Españoles, se realizaron varias divisiones de territorios incluyendo los españoles llegaron a poseer el castillo sin embargo el siglo 1385 el Avis conquistaria el castillo para los Portugueses y seria una buena base estrategica pues serpa esta muy proxima de España! ya que las tierras fueron azotadas por numerosas batallas contra los españoles y franceses fue dificil que la ciudad creciera sin embargo el castillo fue cada vez mas fortificado! hasta el punto donde todos los habitantes masculinos de Serpa eran soldados📚🧭🌏
