Penha Garcia Portugal HD
In Beira Baixa, a few kilometers from Spain, a typical village spreads along the hillside. Its privileged position of defense was one of the reasons for the establishment in this place of a Neolithic settlement, later transformed into a Lusitanian settlement and then into a Roman settlement.
Monsanto Village:
Monsanto Castle:
But it will not have been smaller the attraction exerted for centuries by the existence of gold to explore in the bed of the Pônsul river. Today, the main attractions for those visiting Penha Garcia are undoubtedly the stunning view that surrounds the village, the originality of its castle, perched on the top of the cliff, and the marks that nature and history have left in this place. Come and discover this land full of legends and traditions, with all the charm of Beira Baixa.
The castle of Penha Garcia was built possibly in the reign of D. Sancho I to help protect the Portuguese frontier from the onslaughts of Leon, donated by D. Dinis to the Templars more than a hundred years later, returning to the possession of the crown in the sixteenth century , with the extinction of orders.
It is worth climbing the top of the cliff to walk through the imposing walls and observe the magnificent landscape that surrounds the village. The stones tell us the legend that, in that place, still wanders the ghost of the old governor of the castle, D. Garcia. After abducting Monsanto's governor's daughter, D. Branca, the nobleman was captured and sentenced to death. But D. Branca's plea for mercy paid him the penalty. Condemned to be without an arm, D. Garcia is still today known as the severed one.
If the man left his mark in Penha Garcia, the same can be said of nature. One of the biggest treasures of the town is found in the quartzite rocks with 490 million years. At a time when all the continents were united around the South Pole, the seas were inhabited by invertebrate organisms that moved in the sand-clay substrates, leaving marks. To these marks, which were preserved in the sedimentary rocks and are still visible today in Penha Garcia, the people call them the painted snakes and the scientists call them fossils. And if the people of Penha Garcia have long been accustomed to their presence, researchers continue to study them, considering them a very important contribution to the scientific knowledge of a past with millions of years.

At Beira Baixa, just a few miles away from Spain, there is a typical village which spreads through the mountain slope. Its privileged defensive position might have been one of the reasons why a Neolithic village was first built, then turned into a Lusitanian hill fort and then into a Roman village. But perhaps the fact that there was unexplored gold in the Pônsul riverbed might also have been attractive. Nowadays, the main attractions for those who visit Penha Garcia are, without a doubt, the stunning views surrounding the town and the History of this place. Come and discover this land full of legends and traditions with all the charm of Beira Baixa.
Na Beira Baixa, a poucos quilómetros de Espanha, uma povoação típica espraia-se pela encosta da serra. A sua posição privilegiada de defesa terá sido um dos motivos da fixação neste lugar de um povoado neolítico, mais tarde transformado num castro lusitano e, depois, numa povoação romana. Mas não terá sido menor a atracção exercida durante séculos pela existência de ouro por explorar no leito do rio Pônsul. Hoje, os principais atractivos para quem visita Penha Garcia são, sem dúvida, a vista deslumbrante que rodeia a vila, a originalidade do seu castelo, empoleirado no cimo da penha, e as marcas que a natureza e a história deixaram neste lugar. Venha conhecer esta terra plena de lendas e tradições, com todo o encanto da Beira Baixa.

Monsanto Tour Portugal HD
Located on the steep slopes of a hill, the village of Monsanto is a fascinating place with an authentic and tranquil environment where we feel transported to a very ancient time.
This place registers the human presence from the Paleolithic, with archaeological vestiges of a Lusitanian castro and of the Roman occupation in the denominated field of S. Lourenço, in the foothills of the mount. Vestiges of the Visigothic and Arab permanence were also found.
The imposing castle built by the Templars was partially destroyed in the 19th century by the accidental explosion of the ammunition bunker.
We invite you to visit the remains of the powerful Castle on the steep hillside where you can see the fortress, the waist of walls and watchtowers, as well as the beautiful ruins of the S. Miguel Chapel. XII, and the Chapel of Santa Maria do Castelo.
