Marvão

 The greatest attraction is the unspoiled medieval atmosphere in its steep and narrow lanes with immaculately whitewashed houses, leading to a magnificent 13th century castle rising from the rock. It contains a huge water cistern and nearby is a 13th century church








 reminded me a bit of Greece with the whitewashed houses

great place for a drink












 360-degree panorama alone would be reason enough to visit the medieval mountaintop village of Marvão
 a water cistern
