Montemor-o-Novo

Outside its walls the old town, with eighteenth century noble palaces and streets that keep the low-medieval structure as the Rua dos Almocreves and the Travessa dos Chafarizes , with small squares filled with houses built of rammed earth or stone, lancet doors, and work mural and tiles of monastic origin are worth a long visit.

Montemor-o-Novo was the birth place of St. João de Deus in 1495

and the land where the Nobel laureate José Saramago raised his novel Levantado do Chão.
