Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Castelo
During the Reconquista, this hill overlooking the town built a castle, the scene of frequent battles between Muslims and Christians. Currently, there is this hermitage invoking Our Lady of the Castle. According to tradition, the Church was founded by King Afonso Henriques, with a portrait of this king preserved there. The chapel is very long and not very wide, with a single nave, with a stone pulpit and a crossing arch in pink marble.
