Overview

The walled village of Monsaraz is located atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana River and the modern Spanish border. Archaeological evidence indicates that the village has been occupied, in some form, since prehistory – understandable given its important location.

The picturesque town boasts historic monuments, traditional homes, restaurants, cafes, and shops selling locally made products. Particularly notable is the Castle of Monsaraz, built by the Portuguese King Dinis in the 14th century.

Join us on this tour to discover the enchanting medieval village and castle of Monsaraz. We’ll start by picking up everyone at the Roman Temple in Évora, then embark on a scenic 45-minute drive to the historic village of Monsaraz.

Your tour guides are archaeologists and look forward to showing you some spectacular monuments from Portugal's past.

Solo travellers are encouraged to message us directly regarding availability.
