Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALMEIDA , a town of north-eastern Portugal, in the
district
  of Guarda and formerly included in the province of Beira; situated in hilly country between the river Cba, a tributary of
the Douro, and the river Turones, a branch of the Agueda. Pop. (19o0) 2330. Almeida was
long
  one of the
principal
  frontier fortresses of Portugal. It was captured by the Spaniards in 1762. During the Peninsular War (q.v.), the country between the C8a and the Spanish fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo, 25 M. E.S.E., was the
scene
  of hard fighting. Almeida was taken by the French in 181o, and its recapture, by the allied British and Portuguese forces under Lord
Wellington
 , was only effected after a relieving force under
Marshal
  Massena had been defeated at Fuentes d'Onor (or Fuentes de Ofioro), 13 M. S.S.E. The battle was fought on the 5th of May 1811 and the fortress
fell
  five.days later.
