Discover the historical grandeur of Montemor-o-Novo Castle, one of the most iconic monuments in the Alentejo region, on a guided tour that combines rich heritage with breathtaking views. Begin your journey with a convenient transfer from either Évora or Montemor-o-Novo, allowing you to relax and take in the surrounding countryside. Upon arrival, delve into the fascinating history of the site, which dates back to pre-Roman times and gained strategic importance during the Reconquista in the 13th century. The castle was granted its charter by King D. Sancho I in 1203 and underwent significant reinforcements under the reign of King D. Dinis, evolving through the medieval and modern eras as a symbol of defense and power in the region.


As you explore the castle grounds, walk along its fortified walls and climb its sturdy towers, which offer outstanding examples of medieval military architecture. Inside the complex, visit the Church of Santiago, a striking structure that reflects the religious and architectural traditions of the time. Wander through the atmospheric ruins and let your imagination transport you to the castle’s vibrant past. The towers afford panoramic views over the Alentejo plains—especially stunning at sunset—creating a picture-perfect moment of your visit. After soaking in the history and scenery, your tour concludes with a relaxing return transfer to Évora or Montemor, leaving you with lasting memories of this remarkable cultural landmark.
