Safira, an abandoned village in the Alentejo region, is located near the N4 highway, between Vendas Novas and Montemor-o-Novo. It's about 20 kilometers from Montemor-o-Novo.
The road to Safira is very poor, so it's best reached by car 🚗 or mountain bike. Road bikes 🚲 are strongly discouraged, as they will damage the tires and cause punctures every 100 meters.
Safira, meaning "sapphire," is the name of a precious stone.
The village began to be abandoned in 1930 and was completely deserted by 1965.
It was home to approximately 600 people.
