Santarém

Anyone traveling from the neighboring municipality of Almeirim to Santarém via the Don Luís Bridge, which crosses the Tagus River, will find the walls of the Ribatejo capital before them. However, little remains of Santarém's imposing and ancient fortifications, although in the Jardim das Portas do Sol, which sits atop the walls, it is still possible to find three turrets. Several sections of walls and a stretch of the Porta de Santiago are other vestiges of what was once an important medieval castle.

3400, Avô

Oliveira do Hospital

The name of this village originated in Couto de Avão, because there was no bridge over the Alva River and the Moura Stream, so the old town could only be entered by fording (ad vadum). The warrior-poet Brás Garcia Mascarenhas, author of the epic poem "Viriato" (18th century), lived here. This land was inhabited by the Romans, perhaps the founders of the ruined castle. Among the monuments, the main church, presumably commissioned by King Afonso Henriques, is noteworthy, as is a 16th-century manor house, a pillory, and a chapel.

Largo Artur Soares de Almeida
4690-632, Souselo

Cinfães

This Romanesque-Gothic temple features carved stonework on the portals, triumphal arch, and the transept's light recess. The side altars of the triumphal arch feature 15th- and 16th-century Mudejar tiles and remains of frescoes. It is a volumetric and stylistic example that may help reconstruct the structure of the Church of São Cristóvão de Nogueira, with which it shares similar decoration at the level of the axial portal. Noteworthy is the large window on the east-facing elevation, with a broken, semi-detached arch and similar decoration to the portico.

Church dating from the second half of the 16th century. Religious architecture, with a regional character.

Highlights include the 16th-century collateral altarpiece in polychrome Ançã stone, perhaps originally from a Coimbra workshop that followed João de Ruão, the Neo-Gothic altarpieces with carved carvings, and a late 18th-century sculpture in polychrome wood (Our Lady of the Rosary).
