Tips from the Community
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.
