    Marvão is dominated by its imposing and well-preserved medieval castle. The fortified walls embrace the entire village, enclosing a maze of narrow cobbled streets, white houses with red roofs and small flower-filled squares. The views from the walls are breathtaking, taking in a vast panorama of hills, valleys and, on a clear day, all the way to the Serra da Estrela mountain range.

    Marvão is a true open-air museum, preserving the atmosphere and architecture of centuries past. It is on the UNESCO tentative list of potential World Heritage Sites, and is an ideal destination for those seeking history, tranquility and spectacular scenery.
