Castelo de Viana do Alentejo
Originally called "Viana de a par de Alvito," the town was repopulated in the 13th century by King Gil Martins. In 1313, King Dinis granted it a charter and privileges and ordered the construction of the castle, which, rebuilt by King João II, still retains the characteristics of the original design. It is a pentagonal monument with cylindrical towers with cruciform arrow slits at its corners.
