Talk:List of castles in Portugal

Orphaned Castles
Found this page through Wikiproject:Orphanage. Lots of articles on Portuguese castles were created on September, 2011; however, because of the naming conventions, lots of red links on this page actually have articles. I bluelinked a few of them, but there's still more to do. In addition, many of the castle articles are one or two sentences; anyone who can translate their corresponding Portuguese Wiki articles should be able to expand the articles some.

 * After investigating, it seems that the "Castelo de Penacova" article in portuguese is not really correct. There are no references to a "Castle of Penacova" in both SIPA and DGPC records: the two national repositories of classified and unclassified references to architectural patrimony. The only reference to a building on the site (specifically on top of the hill, marked as the castle) is the Preventório de Penacova/Hotel de Penacova and, even then, only dates from 1930. Further, public information about the town of Penacova does not refer to a castle: both the SIPA registry and the official town website. I suggest that hilltop building referenced in the Portuguese article is wish-fulfillment by locals. In fact, the Portuguese article adds little on the subject referring to historical information on the town, but no reference to a castle, just a historical record on a local charter and municipal growth. The only throw-away line references Pinho Leal, who had no proof, and seems to be the only supported of this theory. What is clear: there is no justification for an article. ruben jc  ZEORYMER  (talk) 08:55, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
