The Ribeira da Raia is a Portuguese watercourse that originates in the Alentejo, in the parish of Cabeção, from the junction of the Seda and Tera rivers. It passes north of the town of Mora and flows into the left bank of the Ribeira de Sor, in the parish of Couço, where they form the Sorraia river. The name Raia probably has Arabic origins and designates the border region of the Almohad territory, just like the place name Soutelinho da Raia on the border between Portugal and Spain.

The Mora River Aquarium is a public aquarium mainly dedicated to freshwater ecosystems, focusing on knowledge about biodiversity, the importance of rivers, lakes and other natural freshwater bodies and their relationship with humanity. It was opened on 21 March 2007 and during your visit you will get to know some of the freshwater species in Portugal from its source to its mouth, and even the ocean, as well as others that occur in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the Amazon River basin, the great African lakes of the Rift Valley and Asia. With freshwater as a cross-cutting theme in various areas of knowledge and cultures, a visit to this aquarium is a place to raise awareness about caring for these ecosystems that are home to enormous diversity, despite the fact that the freshwater available in liquid form on the surface constitutes a tiny percentage of all the water on planet Earth.

A perfect place to lower the temperature on hot days.

The Fluviarium in Mora offers you the chance to gain first-hand experience of many of the inhabitants of the rivers and lakes in Portugal and the world.
