Castro de Pragança, located in Serra de Montejunto, is an archaeological site occupied from the Neolithic period to the Roman period. Discovered in 1893, its study revealed traces from various eras. Its archaeological collection is distributed across several national museums and, despite several excavation campaigns and studies, the Castro is currently in a state of abandonment. Its fortifications date back to the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, and the materials found include weights and metallic artefacts, indicating a prolonged and complex occupation.
