    Hiking

    On the granite summit of the Monsanto hill, on the right bank of the Pônsul River, this medieval border castle dominates the Historic Village, an architectural complex in which some stately homes with coats of arms and temples stand out, such as the ruins of the Romanesque Chapel of São Miguel.

    The castle and walls of Monsanto are classified as a National Monument by Decree published on 29 September 1948.
