Monsaraz Attractions

|
Monsaraz, 50km/31mi east of Évora, near the Spanish border, still has a very medieval look, and is worth a visit. Its fortifying walls date from the 16th C., and a walk round the sleepy little town should take in the Gothic parish church, the 17th C. pelourinho, the Gothic palace of justice and, above all, the castle, built in the early 14th C. during the reign of King Dinis.
Monsaraz is a small town bustling with activity; song and dance, art and craft exhibitions and musical entertainment.
