In Marvão there is so much to discover. From the time of the Romans we visit the ovens and limestones of Escusa and the Roman bridge over the Trouts river. We discovered the ash tunnel of São Salvador da Aramenha, the chestnut groves, the cork oak forest and, on the plate, Alentejo cuisine. Over the River Sever, the bridge and the medieval tower gave its name to "Portagem" and the river beach. The medieval sidewalk connects the river to the top of the Sapoio mountain range. In Marvão, between the castle, museums, culture and landscapes, there is time and space to learn about the history of this place.
