Description

Under belejringen af Almeida er den franske korps under marskal Michel Ney erobret grænsefæstningen fra brigadegeneral William Cox's portugisiske garnison. Denne aktion blev udkæmpet i sommeren 1810 under Peninsularkrigen i Napoleonskrigene. Almeida ligger i det østlige Portugal, tæt på grænsen til Spanien.
Som en hovedinvasionsrute fra Ciudad Rodrigo til Lissabon blev slotsfæstningen i Almeida investeret af en hær på 65.000 mand under marskal André Masséna i den tredje franske invasion af Portugal. Dagen før havde de franske styrker presset den britisk-portugisiske hær tilbage ved slaget ved Côa. Den 50.000 mand store britisk-portugisiske hær under general Lord Wellington holdt nu den fjerne bred af Coa. Dog var flodbredderne stejle, med kun to broer, og det franske 6. korps vagtede overgangen, så de britiske styrker var ude af stand til at generobre overgangen for at lette Almeida.
