The Castelo de Marvão is a medieval castle situated atop a granite peak in the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park. Originally constructed during the Roman period, it was significantly expanded by the Moors in the 8th century and later reconquered by Afonso Henriques in 1160 during the formation of Portugal. The *Pátio* – or courtyard – within the castle walls serves as an atmospheric performance space. It’s characterized by its historical stone paving, imposing castle walls providing a backdrop, and relatively intimate scale compared to traditional concert venues. The location offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and is considered a significant historical landmark offering unique acoustics due to its natural enclosure and stone construction.
