Located on the steep slopes of a hill, the village of Monsanto is a fascinating place with an authentic and tranquil environment where we feel transported to a very ancient time.

Monsanto Castle: https://youtu.be/yqQLdPf7NxU

This place registers the human presence from the Paleolithic, with archaeological vestiges of a Lusitanian castro and of the Roman occupation in the denominated field of S. Lourenço, in the foothills of the mount. Vestiges of the Visigothic and Arab permanence were also found.

The imposing castle built by the Templars was partially destroyed in the 19th century by the accidental explosion of the ammunition bunker.

We invite you to visit the remains of the powerful Castle on the steep hillside where you can see the fortress, the waist of walls and watchtowers, as well as the beautiful ruins of the S. Miguel Chapel. XII, and the Chapel of Santa Maria do Castelo.
