Beautiful views

A historic village of undeniable beauty. Thank you for sharing the photos.👍🥾🚲

The imposing castle of Guarda was built in 1199 by King D. Sancho I. The only remaining parts are fragments of the city walls, known as the Gothic-style Torre dos Ferreiros, and the Torre de Menagem (Homage Tower), which houses Guarda's local history museum.

Linhares da Beira is steeped in centuries of history. Founded, apparently, in the 6th century BC by the Turduli, it saw the passage of the Lusitanians, Romans, and Visigoths, who made it the seat of their diocese. It was the scene of Moorish legends, recovered by the kings of León and later by Afonso Henriques, who granted it a charter in 1169 and integrated it into the region's defensive line. Over time, it welcomed Jews, resisted invasions, and lost its municipality in 1842, but never its soul. Today, it is proud to be one of the 12 Historic Villages of Portugal, where every stone tells a piece of the past.

The village is famous for its granite houses, cobbled streets and its imposing medieval castle, which offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Legend has it that Folgosinho was founded by Lusone, grandson of Noah, which adds a touch of mysticism to its already fascinating history.
