Fortaleza de Juromenha
Of the original Moorish castle, later renovated by King Dinis, only traces of the enclosure remain. Built during the Restoration Wars, the bastions lowered the defensive lines to the vicinity of the Guadiana River, a natural border. Of the existing buildings, the old Town Hall and the Senate House, in ruins, stand out.
