Nearby, explore the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança and the ancient Church of São Miguel.

Stroll through the medieval streets of the historic center, including Santa Maria Street, Santiago Square, and Senhora da Oliveira Church. Discover landmarks like the statue of D. Afonso Henriques, Portugal’s first king, and soak in the unique atmosphere of this city where Portugal was born.
