Castelo de Arraiolos
A Romanesque-Gothic castle built in the early 14th century, consisting of two fortified sets. The wall is quadrangular and defended by a tower, with two entrances: the Santarém Gate and the Town Gate. The mayor's palace, together with the wall on the north facade, was restructured in 1480. The Clock Tower has a Manueline design. In the middle of the walled enclosure is the old parish church, a 16th-century building that is quite damaged.
