Cabeça do Mouro
Covilhã, Portugal, Portugal
Cabeça do Mouro in Covilhã, Portugal, refers to an Iron Age fortified settlement or castro known as Castro do Cabeço dos Mouros, perched on a steep, hard-to-access hill surrounded by streams for natural defense.
This proto-urban protohistoric site features a surrounding stone wall enclosing circular-plan dwellings typical of Iron Age Castro culture, with a stone cross marking the highest point of the outcrop.
Largely abandoned after Roman times and sparsely documented, its vestiges represent pre-Roman hilltop communities in the Serra da Estrela foothills, distinct from medieval castles but sharing the region's defensive landscape tradition.
