12 HISTORICAL VILLAGES OF PORTUGAL

"A journey that, above all, tells the History — and several stories — that are very unique to our Portuguese cultural heritage".

 

They are usually built on high ground, as they served as defensive centers for the populations that settled there, even before Roman times. They stand out for their military architecture, as most are surrounded by walls and developed around a castle.

Visiting the Historical Villages is a true journey through the history of Portugal

In the heart of the country, between the districts of Castelo Branco, Guarda, and Coimbra, lie 12 Historic Villages that tell stories of kings, battles, and conquests. Places where time seems to have stopped, with walls, castles, stone houses, narrow streets, and unique landscapes that echo the footsteps of centuries past.

These villages preserve their medieval essence and, despite recent restoration, remain peaceful havens inhabited by an aging population — authentic people who welcome visitors with curiosity and kindness.
