This is a very non descriptive place but the borders of the ruins helped you imagine life back then. Not the best example but worth seeing if you like archeology and history. Very un even paths so take that in mind, very good walking shoes...More

Probably one of the top archaeology sites in Portugal, this Iron Age village is fun to explore. The walking paths are rough and over 2,000 years old, so definitely wear sturdy shoes. Don't miss the baths and council house that pre-date Roman occupation.

And we're glad they did. Amazing ruins from pre-roman and roman times. A huge sight only partially excavated. The reconstructed central gardens with fountains are lovely!

This is a fascinating site which is well worth a visit but you need to be prepared for rough walking over extremely uneven rocky paths
