Penalva do Castelo

The toponym Penalva do Castelo originates from the Latin expression penna alba, meaning “white rock,” referring to a light-colored rocky elevation where, according to tradition, an ancient medieval fortress once stood. This fortification was located on the left bank of the Dão River, although no physical remains survive today. The mention of a "castle" in the modern name reinforces that connection to defensive structures which played an important role in the region’s surveillance and defense during the Middle Ages.
