Well worth the visit. Drive up in the morning or late afternoon. We stayed the night in the village in a house with a boulder in it, excellent price. Watch the sunset from a boulder. Then in the morning walk up to the castle before it gets to hot & touresty. Loved our time there. People very friendly.

Well worth the steep climb to get to the top. Best first thing in the morning when you have the place to yourself. Amazing views of the area, could see how they lived on top of the hill.

Our visit to Belmonte included a stop at the Synagogue where we met several members of the community who seemed genuinely happy to greet visitors to their community. The synagogue is active and has various weekly activities for the Annucim and other Jews of Portugal who want to connect to their heritage. They welcomed us warmly and explained their background and connection to the Sefardic community who were instrumental in helping fund their lovely building. Best to make an appointment before visiting, as building may not be open at all times.

The day we visited, it was cold, windy and showery but well worth the visit. The castle on top of the hill is the gem. There is parking just below the ruined castle, so it is only a short walk but quite steep. Once at the top the view of the surrounding area is superb even on a grey day. It's a pity that ALL of the notices etc about the history are only in Portuguese.
