Rich heritage in a poor border area

Marvão, a beautiful, whitewashed fortress town, lies to the east. Only the foolhardy and the drunk could have contemplated an assault on this eyrie. The Spanish tried for centuries to conquer the castle and only succeeded when a traitor let them in.

A spectacular sight from a spectacular site

The splendid site and 360-degree panorama alone would be reason enough to visit the medieval mountaintop village of Marvão, but the town itself (a candidate for the World Heritage list), is one of Portugal's most spectacular fortified villages.

Seeing for Miles From a Village High in the Sky

The village is high above the Alentejo region’s sun-baked plains.
From Marvão one can see the entire land,” José Saramago, the 1998 Nobel Prize winner for literature, wrote in “Journey to Portugal,” his 2001 travelogue. “It is understandable that from this place, high up in the keep at Marvão Castle, visitors may respectfully murmur, ‘How great is the world.’ ”
