Vila Flor: old gates and hilltop viewpoints
Vila Flor retains the southern gate of its former walls and a parish church with Baroque character. In the surrounding territory, almond trees and the high points of Vilas Boas and Serra do Facho broaden the landscape.
Historic centre
The old gate and parish church, rebuilt in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, are tangible references to different periods of the town.
Vilas Boas and Facho
The Senhora da Assunção sanctuary and Senhora da Lapa occupy elevated positions, offering views across the landscape of the municipality.
