Castelo de Marialva

Reviewed By StaceyPurcell - Houston, United States

We hiked all over these castle ruins in the hills and loved every second we were there. There's even a surprising church that will take your breath away tucked in among the ruins. My only regret is that I wanted to spend more time here......next trip!!

Se-Catedral da Guarda

Reviewed By Niels-Fernanda - Santos, Brazil

The building of Guarda Cathedral was ordered during the reign of King John I, at the initiative of D. Vasco, Bishop of Lamego. Construction works began in 1390 but would only be completed in 1540, during the reign of King John III. Therefor the Cathedral became one of the most emblematic in Portugal with a structure which creates a symbiosis between Gothic and Manueline styles. The granite building stands out because of its fortified shape with its pinnacles and counterforts intercepting refined Manueline decorative elements. Inside, you should not miss the chance to contemplate the magnificent main retable made in ançã stone, a work carried out by João de Ruão’s workshop in Coimbra and a great example of ancient sculpture during the Late Renaissance period.

Fortified Village Almeida

Reviewed By boski - Island of Malta, Malta

This place is stunning, amazing how when you go over the border from Spain to Portugal suddenly there are toilets and infrastructure and businesses are open – wow fancy that Spain ???? Almeida is amazing lovely town, history everywhere you look, the fort is unreal we walked for hours into every nook and cranny, in the town square they were making their famous Portuguese chicken, how perfect is that. The museum in town is fantastic worth a visit well set up and loads to see.
