In a region dotted with megalithic monuments, it is believed that the earliest human occupation of this site dates back to a prehistoric hillfort, successively occupied by Romans, Visigoths, and Muslims, who derived their subsistence from activities related to the agro-pastoral economy. The place name is linked to the latter domain, since, in Portuguese, the word xarez (or xerez) derives from the Arabic saris (or sharish), designating the rockrose (xaras) vegetation then abundant along the banks of the Guadiana River. The place name Monsaraz thus evolved from Monte Xarez (or Xaraz).

Located on the left bank of the Guadiana River, it stands in a dominant position above the old medieval town. From its walls, you can see the surrounding plain with Monsaraz Castle to the north and the border with Spain to the east. It is classified as a Property of Public Interest by public decree.

This church has a life-size wooden sculpture of Jesus carrying the cross, a wonderful piece of contemporary history.

Today, it's a museum village perfectly geared toward tourists. It won the "Monument Villages" category in the 7 Maravilhas de Portugal competition in 2017. Anyone staying in the Alentejo should definitely plan a visit here. It's best to arrive early in the morning, as it gets crowded and noisy from 11 a.m. onwards – that's when the tourist buses arrive.
