The Mondego, the largest river with a wholly Portuguese soul, offers a crossing here: a dam that serves as a natural bridge. Tread carefully, but don't forget to look up, because the view from the heart of the river is unique. The crossing is usually easy in any season, but if the rains are heavy, it's best to turn around and let the current take its course.

The city of Guarda, known as the highest city in Portugal, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Founded by King Sancho I in 1199, the city played a crucial role in defending the Portuguese border and in the country's history. The city is home to several historic buildings, such as the Church of São Vicente, the former Convent of São Francisco, and the Guarda Museum, housed in the former Episcopal Palace. The city has undergone continuous development, honoring its past and seeking modernization, without losing sight of its historical and cultural heritage. 👍

Its ancient castle contrasts with the fears and fears experienced by the people of yesteryear. It was a border town, the scene of many important battles and struggles for the formation and independence of the kingdom. It received important privileges. D. Afonso Henriques granted it a charter and D. Afonso III the charter of Feira. D. Dinis ordered the construction of the walls that still protect a village where Christians and Jews lived together. The ring of walls that still surround the old medieval town, as well as the vast civil and religious architectural heritage, give the Historic Centre a unique image.
