The idea of fortification of this place dates back to the donation of the so-called estate of Arraiolos made by D. Afonso II (1211-1223) to D. Soeiro, bishop of Évora, with permission for a castle to be erected in it (1217).
The complex, integrated by the fortification of Paço dos Alcaides and the walled fence, features a quadrangular plan with elements of the Romanesque style and Gothic style.
It stands out, in the place of arms of the castle, the Church of the Savior.
A local tradition affirms that there is a secret underground passage that connects the castle to the Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption (Convent of the Lóios).
At the beginning of the 20th century it was classified as a National Monument, by Decree published on June 23, 1910. From 1959 to 1963, the castle and the walls of Arraiolos were partially restored by the Directorate General of National Buildings and Monuments (DGEMN ).
