Some History
The boundaries of Vilar Maior are known from a letter from King Afonso IX of León, dated 1227. It was part of this kingdom until its definitive integration into Portugal, with the conquest by King Dinis and the signing of the Treaty of Alcanizes in 1297.
Its walls date back to the mid-11th / early-12th centuries, having been surrounded by a second wall in 1280 to better protect the inhabitants. On 27 November 1296, King Dinis granted it a charter and added the keep to the castle.
The town was part of the Kingdom of León until it was conquered by King Dinis. With its integration into national territory in 1297, the monarch reinforced the castle with an adjoining keep. Inside, there were buildings until the 17th century, which have recently been excavated. Outside, you can still find some traces of a barbican, which helped protect the wall.
On a rocky outcrop to the south of the museum, there is a panel with engravings probably from the Middle Bronze Age (3500 - 4000 years ago).
