Fraga Amarela Viewpoint/Cigaduenha Fortified Settlement

Miranda do Douro
Description
This fortified  settlement from  the first millennium b.C.  occupies an extensive area  whose edges, on the south, fall steeply, over the Douro, providing a magnificient  image of the river cannyon. Another passage of the  fabulous geologic landscape, built by the Douro. It  was effectively used as an invincible wall by the fortified settlement, being very vulnerable on  the other side, forcing the wall  to  precede with a big field of  real sharped fixed stones pointing upward and  defending the  village’s gate.
