This is certainly an opportunity not to be missed. Almeida is a fortified Village in the province of Guarda . It is very close to the Spanish border. The property is a Village building with a total of 138m2 distributed over 3 floors. The Ground floor comprises two doors as point of entry, one to the staircase and main bathroom as well as a door way that would lead into a commercial space. Before the property was a tailors and still has the old sewing machine in the front window. The ground floor would be ideal for a cafeteria or shop of some description. Attracting year round tourism , it makes the property a lucrative investment.
So on the ground floor there is a a large room / kitchen as well as three other rooms leading off this main room as well as a down stairs full bathroom . On the first floor, there is another kitchen , and 3 other rooms, one larger one with two windows with doors to a long juliet balcony overlooking the street and the side of the Town hall. there are 2 rooms leading off the main room on this level. Then there is another stircase leading to the top floor with 4 more rooms, one which has a stone floor and then the main large room with windows giving plenty of natural light and 2 rooms leading off this room. An idea would be to remove the roof and replace it with a flat roof and make a sun terrace / chill out with views over the fortified village and countryside.

In and around the environment of Almeida, evidence of Human occupation can be found back to the Bronze Age and Iron Age. Evidence has also been found of Roman occupation followed by the Suevi and the Visigoths.The village of Almeida was captured from the Moors by the second king of Portugal, Sancho in the 12th century because of its strategic position on the new country of Portugal’s border with Spain. So important to the security of the country, Sancho had the village heavily fortified. The castle was refortified on three further occasions by King Dinis, King Manuel I and by King João VI. The present 12 pointed star fortification was constructed in 1641 to a Vaubanesque plan on which the French military engineer is believed to have personally worked,during the castle’s final stages of completion.
