Castelo da Sertã
A medieval mountain castle with schist walls. Inside, it has a quadrangular tower and a single-nave church with a narrower chancel and bell tower, the Church of Saint John the Baptist. The castle was abandoned for centuries and was only rebuilt in 1998. The tower and some sections of the schist wall remain from the original monument. The founding of this fortification is attributed to Sertorius. It was rebuilt by Count Henry and, in 1174, was donated by his son to the Hospitallers.
