Official historical trail around Monsanto Castle

de fr

The Beira Alta region boasts 12 magnificent fortified villages listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each village has an official walking route of a few kilometres (usually marked in blue and green) that takes you around the site. And here, it’s a real gem, with the most spectacular castle of the 12 villages, standing impressively on its rocky outcrop. The walk is definitely worth a detour!
