Something any student of military history should visit. The very well preserved fortifications deservedly resulted in Elvas being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

a very interesting inner architecture, it is an hexagonal interior and all the interior walls covered with beautiful colorful tiles, it is next to the Pelourinho and the entrance is free so go in and add another highlight to the visit to Elvas.
