Marvão
Portalegre (Alentejo border)
Marvão stands on a 860-metre quartzite crest at the Spanish border — a complete walled village inside a 13th-century castle, with streets that climb like stairs and views over the Tagus basin to Serra da Estrela.
Don’t miss
- Castle and the wall circuit
- View over three provinces
- Igreja de Santa Maria museum
- Chestnut forests of the Serra de São Mamede
