Castelo dos Governadores
Little remains of this castle's initial construction (dating back to the 14th century), since it underwent several changes with the passing of the time. A special note to a manuelin window from where Dom Sebastião may have seen the mass that preceded his trip to the battle of Alcácer Quibir.
