حول

حقائق سريعة: Ruins of the old city wall still surround part of the center with its narrow cobblestone streets where you can hear echoes of maritime history. More than 200 historic buildings withstand time, including churches and manor houses with colorful Portuguese tiles.

النقاط البارزة: Infante Dom Henrique Square has a statue honoring the navigator who set out from here to explore the world in the 15th century. The sunset on the nearby beaches creates a golden light that paints the limestone walls of the city, reflecting a unique atmosphere that seems frozen in time.

Prefer visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds at Infante Dom Henrique Square.
