Built upon a granite massif near Serra de Opa, Sortelha is a small village which has kept its medieval outline. Its houses, surrounded by the walls of the majestic castle, follow the irregularities of the land. The place where it was established, which was difficult to reach, made the defence against enemy attacks easier and it has always shown clear advantages for military strategies. That is why it has been inhabited since the Neolithic.
