Church of Santa Maria da Graça, where Pedro Álvares Cabral is buried. Today it is only used as a museum. For special occasions, such as a wedding, the church can still be used as such.

Santarem has been Portuguese since 1147 and, with an old town center of almost 2 square kilometers, is one of the largest in the country. The city may be a little old, but it is definitely worth a visit.

Building dates from the 1930s and has 63 decorative wall tiles with various themes such as grain harvest, livestock market or horse breeding. Still used for the weekly market.

The city has a certain charm, but it has faded for many years... As if the city had its heyday in the 1980s. Unfortunately, many shops are empty and the houses are falling into disrepair. Here and there, restoration and new construction is taking place, after all, it has remained Portuguese since 1147 AD. What is still very well preserved is the market hall with its typical ceramic tiles.

The most impressive building in the city and also the backdrop to the city's central square. This is where the community meets and there are cafes and a tavern.

A lot of renovation work is currently being carried out in the city, and it is sometimes very difficult to get to some of the buildings.
