Sabugal Castle is one of the most imposing and well-preserved medieval fortifications in Portugal. It is known as the "Castle of the Five Corners" due to the unusual shape of its impressive pentagonal keep, the castle's most iconic feature. Its pentagonal (five-cornered) plan is considered unique in Portuguese military architecture. It is approximately 30 meters high and offers incredible views. The castle has a double ring of walls. You can walk along the ramparts on top of the walls for a panoramic view over the city and the Côa River. From the top, you can see the Côa River winding its way through the city and the natural landscape of the Serra da Malcata mountain range.

Penamacor, once one of the most imposing border fortresses, still bears traces of its military importance. The medieval castle, classified as a National Monument, stands as a testament to the ancient defensive line of Beira. Amidst narrow streets and walls, memories of the Jewish quarter, a refuge for Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, also emerge. In this context, Penamacor is above all the birthplace of António Ribeiro Sanches, a physician, philosopher, and medical reformer who served Catherine of Russia.

Among the municipality's 37 listed, predominantly granite buildings are churches, manor houses, fountains, and former public buildings. Of particular note are the castle complex and city walls dating back to the 13th century.

Built on the Côa River, Sabugal Castle preserves centuries of borders and memory. Once part of the Kingdom of León, it passed to Portugal in 1297 and became a strategic staging ground for the Portuguese-British troops during the Third French Invasion. Today, it continues to stand as a living testament to the long history of one of Europe's oldest nations.

Monsanto is a medieval village that is located in the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova, District of Castelo Branco, Portugal. It is located in eastern Portugal, not far from the border with Spain, giving it a strategic location in medieval times. A Knights Templar fortress was constructed on the highest point of the town, but this was destroyed in an explosion in the 19th century. In 1938, Monsanto was given the distinction of being “the most Portuguese village of Portugal,” during a government sponsored competition. Monsanto is famous for its boulders. The first settlers built small houses on the hilltop, wedging them between and under the boulders that were far too heavy to be moved. These small stone houses remain, creating one of Portugal’s most unique and charming towns to visit. Monsanto is also a filming location for Season 1 of the HBO House of the Dragon series.

On the granite summit of the Monsanto hill, on the right bank of the Pônsul River, this medieval border castle dominates the Historic Village, an architectural complex in which some stately homes with coats of arms and temples stand out, such as the ruins of the Romanesque Chapel of São Miguel. The castle and walls of Monsanto are classified as a National Monument by Decree published on 29 September 1948.
