Séc.s XIV e XV
Castelo de Vide apresenta um dos mais importantes e interessantes conjuntos de portas ogivais actualmente existentes no País. Datando dos séc.s XIV e XV o seu número total é de sessenta e três. Essas portas encontram-se em muitas das ruas, principalmente na parte mais antiga do Centro Histórico, com grande aglomeração na Judiaria e Rua de Santa Maria de Cima.
Se algumas são simples portas ogivais, sem qualquer decoração, muitas apresentam-se decoradas tanto ao nível das ogivas, como das impostas e ombreiras.
Como elementos decorativos são empregues as esferas, toros e caneluras, conjuntamente com arestas vivas e motivos vegetais. O peixe aparece numa única porta do séc. XVI (Rua Nova), mas também há estilizações do Sol e das estrelas (Penedo).
