Its proximity to the Spanish border made it the center of attack for invaders. As a result, the ancient stronghold of Castelo Branco boasts a number of historic monuments. Today, it is best known for the gardens of the Baroque episcopal palace and the medieval quarter around the ruins of the Templar castle. In recent years, the city has undergone extensive renovation and has gained in dynamism. It is home to a contemporary art museum, opposite the Largo da Devesa, which has been refurbished with numerous bars and terraces. You can also take advantage of the many green spaces. Further information from the tourist office: 30 Avenida Nuno Alvares.
