Understand the place
Ancient Egitânia brings together, in a very small nucleus, Roman, Paleo-Christian, Visigothic, medieval and modern remains.
What to watch out for
Observe the wall, the bridge, the doors, the Cathedral and the Roman materials reused in later constructions. The value of Idanha-a-Velha lies in the overlapping of eras and the former episcopal importance, not in the current scale of the town.
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.
