Sortelha
The town has walls to climb, views that stretch as far as the Serra da Estrela, centuries-old gates, two stones that “kiss” each other and crafts made from a typical herb.
Walking through the streets of the village on a stroll through the beautiful Sortelha is like taking a trip back in time.
The Sortelha Castle has been a National Monument since 1910, and this border town has always been the subject of disputes.
Its foundations date back to the medieval period and the town was reborn (between the 13th and 14th centuries) due to the defensive needs in this part of the territory.
