Castelo de Viana do Alentejo
Originally called "Viana of the pair of Alvito", the village was resettled in the 13th century by d. Gil Martins. In 1313, King Denis granted a Charter and privileges and ordered the construction of the Castle, which, rebuilt by King John II, still maintains the characteristics of the initial project. It is a monument of pentagonal plant whose angles stand cylindrical towers with cruciform arrow slits.
