Here, you can ask for forgiveness if you spam a forum for outdoor activities with pointless "highlights" and spam many times more points in several regions than there are highlights, tips, and pictures combined.

A monstrous piece of the tower lies across the portal. It wasn't an earthquake that brought down the former watchtower, but rather a deliberate barrage of cannonballs by the Spanish occupiers during the 28-year conflict to restore Portuguese sovereignty. Serpa, a border town coveted for its mineral resources, changed its national flag several times over the course of its turbulent history along the border between the once-enemy kingdoms of Castile and Portugal. In 1674, the then Prince Regent and future King Pedro II awarded Serpa the title of Vila Notável de Serpa. Despite extensive destruction, the "remarkable town" managed to hold its ground and was awarded the honorary royal title that remains in use today.

At the aqueduct, as everywhere in Serpa, there are thousand-year-old olive trees.

This aqueduct is a remarkable example of ancient hydraulic engineering, designed to transport water from external sources to the city centre.Originally built in Roman times and then extensively modified and expanded in subsequent centuries, particularly during the medieval and modern periods, the aqueduct features a series of sturdy arches that crisscross the landscape.

The castle houses the Municipal Museum of Archaeology. The castle walls are accessible. The elevator was out of service at the end of May 2025.

The tower itself was part of the defensive line built around the castle during the reign of D. Dinis. Since its use as a defensive tower was no longer viable, the upper part was built and the clock installed during the reign of D. Manuel I, probably between 1515 and 1516. Unfortunately, it has been closed for years and is only sporadically open for visits.
