Monsanto the stone made history in the most Portuguese magical village in Portugal

Описание: Without a doubt, Monsanto is one of the most unique places that can be visited in Portugal, a town with a unique charm where neighbors decided to merge with the mountain by building their houses on and under the rock itself. It won the award for the most portuguese village in Portugal and is deservedly on the list of historic villages. Nestled into the side of a mountain, its houses adapt to the whimsical design of the gigantic granite rocks, that once fell from the mountain, and look like a bowling game. The best way to get to know Monsanto is to get lost in steep alleys, discovering in every corner how the hand of man has been able to adapt to nature. Crossing the wall you will be able to enjoy, in addition to the panoramic views provided by the height, its churches and chapels, mansions and the Lucano Tower crowned by a silver rooster earned as the most portuguese town in Portugal, ascending to the castle, from where you will have the best perspective of this spectacular place. Then we move to the small historic village of Idanha-a-Velha, where tranquility prevails and time does not seem to pass, and which within its walled enclosure, converted into an open-air museum, preserves the traces of the Romans and the Templars.
