Among the architectural gems to be discovered in this dynamic city are the cathedral dating from the 13th and 14thcenturies , the Luís de Camões square, the urban heart, the Ferreiros Tower, the 18th-century town hall with its elegant arcades, the São Vicente church and the old Jewish quarter. Guarda, with its picturesque alleyways, lends a charming atmosphere and offers a captivating immersion in Portuguese history.
