During my hike UP history, I came across an old gate that was capped with the head of an old bull. It was a 12th century Bull of San Luca head, but there wasn't any record, that I could find, which told of the maker, or how it got to the top of the gate.
Further along I came across the perimeter walls of huge castle that was build in the beginning of the middle ages and destroyed in 1523 under the despotic regime of Pombal. I could see glimpses of it along the way, and at the top a large section of wall was still standing.
