The Porta da Vila is the city's main gate. It consists of two low, staggered gates to prevent a direct cavalry charge, as was often the case with Gothic Portuguese castles. Between the gates is a small balcony that served as a prayer room, with beautiful blue and white tiles (azulejos) from 1740 depicting the Passion of Christ. Street performers often play there because of the acoustics.

An entrance in the city wall, with some tile panels that I loved seeing.
