On top of Monte Latito, the castle is the monument associated with the origin of the kingdom. You walk the walls, not the keep, which is closed to the public. Beside it, the small Romanesque church of São Miguel, where tradition places the baptism of the first king. Open every day from 10:00 to 18:00 (last entry at 17:30); the ticket office is at the palace. It costs €5, half price for young people aged 13 to 24, over-65s and families.
