Porto de Mós Castle is very original, thanks to its large green and pointed turrets, you can see it from afar! It is an architectural work with unique characteristics which stands on a small hill. Conquered from the Moors in 1148 by the first king of Portugal, Dom Afonso Henriques, the castle of Porto de Mós had an important role in the Christian reconquest and a few years later (1385) in the battle of Aljubarrota, a battle which gave definitive independence in Portugal. In the 15th century, the castle was transformed into a residential palace by D. Afonso. After his death in 1459, the palace was abandoned and partially destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755. From 1936 until 1999, the castle underwent several restorations, which allowed it to regain its former glory. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910.

Single track parallel to Ribeiro das Chitas, and at the end you can continue along the single track to Padrão, or turn right crossing the stream towards Curvachia again. If done in the West-East direction, right at the beginning there is a climb of about 1m that with skill and speed you can climb. Good to do also at night with good flashlights.

In the 16th century the monastery of Santa Maria de Coz became one of the richest Cistercian convents in Portugal. The tiles in the sacristy tell the life story of Bernhard de Claraval. The church has a beautiful painted wooden ceiling from the 18th century. The walls are painted tiles again. The gilded wooden altar is baroque. In Portugal in 1834 all monasteries were charged. The buildings are now managed by the municipalities.
