We return to step Portugal territory to wander around Torres Vedras, an ancient and historical city full of monuments that await us to witness and witness the passing years and the different times and moments of political history in Portugal.
Torres Vedras region has been inhabited even in prehistoric times, when the first human settlements roamed the area in search of animals to hunt, as well as trips to the coast and rivers and streams to fish.
It is one of the oldest cities in the district of Lisbon, and has an old fort which was built sometime in the thirteenth century, then serving as a defense against attacks by tribes and warriors of other races.
Today the castle serves as one of the most important museums of Torres Vedras, and it's an excellent ride thanks to its location in Largo Colonel Morais Sarmento.
Other must-see places for our visit include the Church of St. Mary of the Castle (dating from some years before the fort). There you can witness the features of Romanesque architecture, one of the most important exponents of this movement in the region of Torres Vedras.
The belfry and the towers can be visited, and are an excellent walk along the narrow streets of the city.
Finally, we visit the church of San Pedro and Canos Chafariz two other buildings that have gained some popularity on the tourist district of Lisbon.
