Muralhas e Portas de 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.
