    Monsanto is a medieval village that is located in the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova, District of Castelo Branco, Portugal. It is located in eastern Portugal, not far from the border with Spain, giving it a strategic location in medieval times. A Knights Templar fortress was constructed on the highest point of the town, but this was destroyed in an explosion in the 19th century.

    In 1938, Monsanto was given the distinction of being “the most Portuguese village of Portugal,” during a government sponsored competition.
