Vilar Maior breathes history in every stone. From the 11th century until the Treaty of Alcanices in 1297, it passed from the Kingdom of León to Portugal under King Dinis, who reinforced the castle with the keep. Between medieval walls, the ruins of the Church of Santa Maria, the Manueline pillory, and prehistoric engravings, the place holds centuries of memory.

Today, the streets descend from the old fortress to the plain, where manor houses, bridges, and churches continue to tell the long story of this border town.
