The armor, whose function is defensive, is an element of military architecture brought by Muslim civilization in the twelfth century and adapted by Christians to their military constructions. It is a walled path that leaves from the urban fence and extends until next to a permanent point of water, protected by towers. This system allowed safer access to drinking water in the event of a prolonged sealing.
Address: Largo do Espírito Santo
In Estremoz, the armor would be an integral part of the medieval wall, possibly a cove of the Keep. The entire wall structure linking the towers to the fence was destroyed in the late seventeenth century.
There are still some examples of these structures, namely in Lisbon, where in this city only the wall remains.
