Elvas Unmissables

Elvas serves as a premier example of military architecture, holding the title of a UNESCO World Heritage site for its extensive dry-ditch fortifications. This selection features the 17th-century star-shaped Fort Santa Luzia and the imposing Nossa Senhora da Graça Fort. The city’s engineering is further highlighted by the 16th-century Amoreira Aqueduct, which spans eight kilometers. Historic monuments like the Manueline pillory and the Baroque Sanctuary of Senhor Jesus da Piedade complete the architectural landscape of this border town.
