This Castle was part of a territorial defence network to which the Asturian kings were particularly attentive. In 995, it was attacked by Almanzor as he was heading towards Braga and Compostela during the Reconquest. It was the seat of a region in the process of territorial reorganisation that occurred during the 11th century, and it was also an important jurisdiction in the 13th century.

5. Ermida da Nossa Senhora do Vale
The Chapel of Our Lady of Vale has a rectangular nave and a square chancel, with wooden roofs. The composition of the main portal, as well as its sculpture, show how the Romanesque motifs endured for a long time. The building is preceded by a porch with Classical lines. This Chapel still has a few traces of mural paintings, ascribed to Master Arnaus, which show depictions of musician angels.
