Fortifications, Historic, Interesting Places, Castles

A Praça-forte de Elvas, no Alentejo, localiza-se na freguesia da Alcáçova, na cidade e concelho de Elvas, distrito de Portalegre, em Portugal.

Distante apenas quinze quilômetros de Badajoz, Elvas constituiu um ponto estratégico da defesa lindeira da nação, na região do Alto Alentejo. Por essa razão, concentrou, ao longo dos séculos, um poderoso sistema defensivo, baseado nas suaves elevações distribuídas pela planície circundante e no vizinho rio Guadiana, sendo cognominada como Rainha da Fronteira.
