A small village located on the slopes of Cabeço de Monsanto, at an altitude of 758 meters, known as "the most Portuguese village in Portugal." Wild nature and human construction combine in a harmonious combination, resembling, from a distance, a stone fortress.

A settlement of military origins, it was here that, according to legend, Viriato withstood a seven-year siege. Monsanto Castle was recaptured from the Arabs.

A fortified settlement bounded by oval walls, located on the right bank of the Pônsul River. Inside, the highlights include the old Cathedral/Main Church and the ruins of the Castle. Outside the walls, highlights include the Chapel of Saint Damasus, the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, and the bridge over the Pônsul River. The bridge dates from the 1st century, and the walls from the 3rd or 4th century.

According to legend, the foundation of this castle began with a hillfort that allowed Viriato's companions to withstand a seven-year siege. Later, it also withstood Arab, Castilian, and French attacks. It is located amidst a rocky outcrop, at a strategic lookout point. Dom Afonso Henriques granted it a charter in 1174 and donated it to the Templars, who built the castle. Of the imposing medieval fortress, only the quadrangular Torre de Lucena and Torre do Pião remain.
