Castle of Amarante

Monument · Antas de Ulla, Ulloa, Lugo

Fortress raised in the thirteenth century by the counts of Amarante over an old castro, in the parish of Santa Mariña do Castro de Amarante, itself strewn with castros; razed during the Irmandiño revolt of the fifteenth century, it was rebuilt by Roi Fernández de Noguerol, placed there by the Catholic Monarchs, and afterwards passed to the house of Camarasa, articulating the seigneurial power of these lands.
