Estremoz Guided Tour

At the agreed time, we'll meet at the Casa de Estremoz Tourist Office to start a guided tour of this Alentejo city.

We'll walk along Rossio Marquês de Pombal street while admiring its marble houses. This material is prevalent in most buildings due to the many quarries in the area, making Estremoz one of the largest marble producers in the world.

Next, we'll reach the lake and fountain of Gadanha and learn about its military significance in the 18th century. We will then stop at the pillory, where executions occurred during the reign of Manuel I.

Our next destination will be the medieval castle of Estremoz, where we will explore the tales of the kings and nobles who lived there, focusing on the keep, a 27-meter-high marble structure.

We'll also visit the Ermida de Nossa Senhora do Socorro, a 17th-century monastery of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians.

After two and a half hours of exploring Estremoz, we'll conclude the tour at the starting point.
