Historic Village of Monsanto

Reviewed By Lisabarrier - Taumarunui, New Zealand

Well worth the visit. Drive up in the morning or late afternoon. We stayed the night in the village in a house with a boulder in it, excellent price. Watch the sunset from a boulder. Then in the morning walk up to the castle before it gets to hot & touresty. Loved our time there. People very friendly.

Castelo Novo Historical Village

Reviewed By ChrisandMick60 - Montaren-et-Saint-Mediers, France

The day we visited, it was cold, windy and showery but well worth the visit. The castle on top of the hill is the gem. There is parking just below the ruined castle, so it is only a short walk but quite steep. Once at the top the view of the surrounding area is superb even on a grey day. It's a pity that ALL of the notices etc about the history are only in Portuguese.

Jardim do Paco Episcopal

Reviewed By annakJ9247VJ - Alvaiade, Portugal

A superb place n the center of the city. Tranquil, filled with the air of history and its epoch, it is a perfect spot to come and visit. You can just sit and meditate there, or explore the symbolism of the sculptures around the garden.
