Ibn Marwan and the Founding of Marvão (876–877 CE)
Between 876 and 877 CE, the rebel leader Ibn Marwan constructs a fortified stronghold in present-day Portugal, which later becomes known as the Castle of Marvão.
By the 10th century, the site is referred to as Amaia de Ibn Maruán or Fortaleza de Amaia, reflecting both its strategic importance and its connection to Ibn Marwan, a leader known for defying the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba and establishing semi-independent territories in western Iberia.
