    The Rio Maior Salt Pans are located about 3 km from the city centre and are nestled in a valley at the foot of the Serra dos Candeeiros, in the heart of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park. Classified as a Property of Public Interest since December 1997, these are the only inland salt pans in Portugal, and the only ones in full operation in Europe. The first reference to their existence dates back to 1177, but it is thought that the use of rock salt was already being made in prehistoric times.
