Marvão is one of Portugal's most spectacular fortified villages.
Most rewarding of all is climbing onto the walls, battlements and towers for the impressive views, and staying for the stunning sunset and evening peace of the village.
The greatest attraction is the unspoiled medieval atmosphere in its steep and narrow lanes with immaculately whitewashed houses, leading to a magnificent 13th century castle rising from the rock. It contains a huge water cistern and nearby is a 13th century church with a small but interesting museum of archeological finds and local artifacts.
Revealing sensational panoramas from the top of the Serra do Marvão and a unique village that seems to rise from the granite outcrop. Inside the small town you’ll find a picture of whitewashed white houses with red roofs, showing the typical identity from Alentejo. The medieval fortress, stronghold that defended the region from the Spaniard’s attacks, is so well preserved that was classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Nearby are the mountains of São Mamede, a natural park with Neolithic and Roman remains, wildlife, and Europe's largest colony of bats.
