    The ruins of the Sanatorium Grandella (or Sanatorium Albergaria as Francisco de Almeida Grandella intended to call it) in Cabeço de Montachique, Loures, are 100 years old and represent a seven-pointed star (Masonic symbol).
    This sanatorium was never finished due to the bankruptcy of the Grandella family.

    The ruins of the Albergaria Sanatorium provoke a mixture of fascination and intrigue because the building was never finished. It is located on a slope of the hill of Cabeço de Montachique, close to the viewpoint with the same name, where there is a swing that provides privileged "views", in the parish of Lousa, Loures.

    Careful with the inner trail of the ruins. There are a couple of steel rods sticking off the ground, which can easily pierce bike tyres. (Info date: feb 2024)
