Museu do Rio

Highlight • Historical Site

The River Museum reveals the soul of the Guadiana: its history, traditions, and the vital role it played in transporting ore. It also celebrates the region's natural and cultural heritage, from artisanal fishing to gastronomy, not forgetting the memories of smuggling during the Estado Novo.

Among the exhibits, miniature replicas of the vessels that plied these waters until the 1960s stand out.

Old Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Here, very close to the Corte das Donas, you'll find this decommissioned windmill. The building is in ruins, but it adds a charming touch to the landscape and offers a glimpse into the life that once existed here.

Villa Romana do Montinho das Laranjeiras

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1876, an unprecedented flood of the Guadiana River revealed previously unknown ruins: the Roman Villa of Montinho das Laranjeiras. Founded in the 1st century BC, it was inhabited continuously until the end of the Islamic period, when it was finally abandoned. Its privileged position allowed trade along the river as far as Mértola and ensured the continuity of Roman, Visigothic, and Islamic occupation.
