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.

This hermitage construction has started by the end of the XVII Century. The temple maintains a presbytery with a Manueline – Mudejar cover and the main chapel has a lancet dome.

This Romanic church has a perfectly volte doorway and a rectangular main chapel, probably built by the Count Dom Henrique. This Monument has a rather high symbolism not only for its historical connection to the period in which the Nationality was founded, but also because traditionally here Dom Afonso Henriques was baptised. The main façade includes a doorway with two archivolts and a flat tympanum. On the inside there are some warrior graves that were connected to the Nationality foundation.

What is left of the castle and the walls shows the importance it had at the time of the moorish occupation, be it for the dimensions of the walls, be it for the artistic and archeological importance of the identified materials.

All that remains of the original medieval fortification is the keep, part of the 12th century fortress, part of the barbican and the towers that flanked one of the gates of the fence. From the 17th century it retains part of the rampart fortification.

Of the castle built by King Dinis between the 13th and 14th centuries, only a few small stone walls that surrounded the old town remain. The area where the wall existed is currently occupied by housing.

This is a granite pillory with hexagonal format and four steps. Presently it has one only stone. It is said that during poverty times the population slowly destroyed the castle and this pillory in order to rebuild their houses.

This is a granite pillory with an octagonal shaft, topped by a closed orb.

Pillory composed by a six steps base, an octagonal shaft, a capital decorated with half – spheres and fleur-de- lis and on the top of it, a pyramidal piece with a polygonal base decorated with shamrocks.
