Poço de São Bartolomeu
It is one of the landmarks of the town of Vale da Pinta and, according to legend, King Afonso Henriques drank water there before the Battle of Ourique. The name of the well, believed to have been built in the 9th century, also comes from that time, as it is thought that the men who accompanied the first king of Portugal saw an image of Saint Bartholomew there.
