 The castle is situated in a rural environment, a short distance from the mountaintop, in a region of granite outcroppings and sparsely covered vegetation.Its plan follows an elliptical model, but little remains of the complete structure, except a curtain of walls between thick.The access to the mountaintop is surrounded by crags and only accessible from the south (where the principal entrance was located) and east, over the Serra de Nogueira, towards the southwest.
