This location, at an altitude of around 600 metres, offers a 360º view over a vast area, where the Serra da Lousã and Serra da Estrela stand out. This center, located about 2.7 kilometers from Vila de Rei, marks the center of the country. Here you can also find a small museum with an auditorium, bar and souvenir shop.

Leaving Vila de Rei towards Sertã, 1.8 km later, you will find the deviation for Picoto da Melriça - Geodesic Center of Portugal, 900m later, and you will find yourself in the Geodesic Center of Portugal which means being in the center of the parents.
With an altitude of 600 m, this place allows its visitor a 360º view over a vast horizon, in which Serra da Lousã stands out and, in clear weather, Serra da Estrela, is almost 100 km away.
