Monsaraz Unmissables

Monsaraz features a concentration of Neolithic megaliths, medieval fortifications, and religious architecture overlooking the Alqueva reservoir. This selection highlights the 16th-century Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Lagoa, the Museu do Fresco's rare 15th-century secular mural, and several prehistoric monuments including the 5.6-meter Menir do Outeiro. Local restaurants serve traditional Alentejo cuisine within historic structures, while the river beach provides access to the lake's edge.
