Understand the place

The village brings together the castle associated with the family of Pedro Álvares Cabral, Jewish heritage and views over Cova da Beira and Serra da Estrela.

What to watch out for

The visit makes sense by connecting the castle, the Church of Santiago and the Pantheon of Cabrais to the Jewish Museum and the synagogue. The local Jewish community maintained religious practices during centuries of clandestinity, an essential dimension to interpret Belmonte.

Prepare the passage

Take time to explore the city center on foot, respect homes and properties and only use designated parking spaces. Confirm any changes to access, events and services on the official network and local entities.
