The Castelo de Marvão is a medieval castle situated in the historic village of Marvão, Portugal, strategically positioned atop a granite peak. Originally constructed during the Roman period, it was significantly expanded by the Moors in the 12th century and later reinforced by King Dinis of Portugal in the 14th century. The *Cisterna* – or cistern – within the castle walls represents a crucial element of its defensive structure and daily life throughout its history. These underground reservoirs were essential for water storage, particularly during sieges, providing a vital resource for the castle’s inhabitants.
