With open arms 133 meters above the level of the Tagus River, the Sanctuary of Cristo Rei offers a privileged view over the municipalities of Lisbon and Almada. And, on sunny days, the gaze can even reach part of Sintra and Sesimbra. Opened in 1959, it was inspired by Christ the Redeemer, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The monument was built on the promise made by the Bishops of Portugal to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the hope of keeping the country away from the Second World War.

Elevator that ascends 50 meters high, making the connection between Almada and the riverside area. This equipment, with capacity for 50 people and which travels every 15 minutes, also has a fabulous view over Lisbon and the Tagus, and a terrace in the elevator arrival building.

Granite bridge, built in the 17th century, by David Álvares, under which the waters of the River Coa go through. The name is due to the place where it flows, near Foz Coa, despite being formed in Foios, in Serra das Mesas and flowing into the Douro River. The bridge has 3 arches and connects the 2 banks of the river.

17th century doors, designed by Jerónimo Velho de Azevedo, of monumental size. Laterally, they are protected by the so-called Casas de Guarda (Guard Houses).

House that belonged to Lord Wellington, who installed his headquarters here in the period of the French Invasions, as we can see by the coat of arms where a plaque was placed suggesting his presence. The house consists of 2 distinct parts: the first is characterized by the porch and the columns that support it; the second, with a single floor, becomes symbolic due to the façade, on which the coat of arms, the plaque and the framed door are located.

Built in the 16th century, the building initially housed the Convento das Freiras Terceiras Regulares de S. Francisco, dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Loreto. Later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was a military headquarters and hospital. After the explosion of 1810, it was remodeled and became the village's Mother Church. Inside, the Capela do Menino Jesus stands out, with a portal from 1699. Currently, the temple is dedicated to Nossa Senhora das Candeias.

Close to the Quartel das Esquadras, the Town Hall of Almeida operates in a historic and emblematic building, dating from the 18th century and which previously housed the Former Body of the Main Guard. With a Neoclassical style, it is the last military building built from scratch for military purposes in Almeida. On the main façade, the three arches framed by pilasters stand out, as well as the triangular pediment, which integrates the royal arms. These show the shield surrounded by acanthus and baroque shells, supported by warlike elements.

Located close to the Double Doors of Santo António, this building, with Baroque characteristics, impresses with its architecture with a long and narrow rectangular plant, distributed over two floors with transversal, vaulted barracks and a fireplace. The monument was built in the 18th century by the Count of Lippe, a German military and politician who served in the Portuguese Army, and functioned as an Infantry Barracks. Featuring a royal coat of arms on the façade, the Quartel das Esquadras is the final object of a set of infantry barracks with the same typology, usually visible in the Alentejo squares.

It is in the old town's casemates that the Military Historical Museum was created, an interactive space in which the History of Portugal is reconstituted, from medieval times to the most recent centuries, with a focus on the Peninsular Wars and, of course, on the invasion and siege of Almeida. Located in the basement of the Baluarte de S. João de Deus, within the walled area, the Casemates are 20 underground houses, made up of a perfect round vault, with the purpose of military defense. They were also known as Quartéis Velhos, given the lack of barracks to house infantry.

The Castelo de Almeida ruins can be found in the village's walled enclosure and are classified as a National Monument. Its origin is either Muslim or Leonese, while the second castle resulted from the rebuilding of the previous one during the reign of D. Dinis, at the end of the 12th century. In Gothic style, it occupied an area of around 100 meters, being one of the smallest castles built in the border area. A new renovation that took place in the 18th century turned it into a warehouse for ammunition and gunpowder. In 1810, during the Third French Invasion …
