Conjunto Urbano do Centro Histórico de Santarém

The historic center of Santarém is a veritable open-air museum. Strolling through this urban area, you can admire around 25 listed buildings that reflect different architectural styles, ranging from Gothic to Mannerist. These testimonies of past eras reflect well the importance the city has held throughout its rich and extensive history, largely derived from its geographical location, which was seen as strategic, on the right bank of the Tagus River.
