O Castelo de Sortelha está localizado na aldeia histórica de Sortelha, consideradas uma das mais bem preservadas de Portugal.

O Castelo foi contruído no século XIII devido à sua localização estratégica, compondo uma grande linha de defesa de outros castelos/fortalezas da região. Em seu interior, têm destaque a Torre de Menagem e a cisterna, que antigamente servia como abastacimento de água. Na Porta do Castelo, é possível notar o balcão e as armas reais de Dom Manuel.
