"It
is said that the construction of Soure castle began in the 11th century. It was
immediately destroyed by the Moors during a battle. One century later, it was
donated to Count Fernando Peres de Trava, who rebuilt it. In the 20th century
it was given to Soure Town Hall. Despite a rather complicated process regarding
the deeds and the ownership of the castle, the castle became property of Soure
Town Hall. The dominating architectural styles are: Medieval, Romanic, along
with Gothic and Manueline influences. It is a simple castle of small
dimensions. Remains of the citadel can still be seen, defined by four towers in
the angles, a Suevi-Visigoth door and a Mozarab window." In: Lifecooler
