Ruínas do Castelo de Moreira de Rei
This Fortress construction is placed on the 18th century, even though some historians refer the existence of buildings previous to the Moorish conquest on the 10th century. It is said that Moreira do Rei owes it name to D. Sancho II who was here installed before leaving to the exile in Toledo. Placed at 800 metres high and surrounded by cliffs and rocks, only a few traces from this castle still exist today.
