The Coruche Road Bridge, or General Teófilo da Trindade Bridge, over the Sorraia River, connects the town of Coruche, in Portugal, on the right bank, to the opposite bank. The bridge was inaugurated on August 16, 1930, and was presided over by then president Óscar Carmona (1926–1951). Its construction was due to the efforts and influence of Coruche resident and prominent military man Luis Alberto de Oliveira. It is the largest of all the bridges that cross the Sorraia

The Coruche Bullring was inaugurated on 14 August 1966, during the festivities in honour of Our Lady of the Castle in 1966, the year in which the 800th anniversary of the Christian conquest of Coruche was celebrated. After the blessing of the new chapel, built inside the square, and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque by the President of the Republic, Admiral Américo Tomás, the inaugural bullfight took place, under the direction of Mr. Júlio Procópio, in which bulls were fought by D. Maria Manuela Andrade Salgueiro and Dr. Fernando Salgueiro, for the riders Manuel Conde and Joaquim José Correia and the swordsmen Óscar Rosmano, José Falcão, Jorge Marques, César Marinho and António Sacramento. The pegas were carried out by the Forcados Amadores de Montemor. Initially owned by the Construction Commission, on 16 August 1971 the bullring was donated to three charitable institutions in the town of Coruche: the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Castle, the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Coruche and the Lar de São José. The bullfighting tradition in Coruche is ancient and one of the most active, with several bullfighting ranches in the municipality (David Ribeiro Telles, Vale Sorraia, Herdeiros Dr. António Silva and Lopes Branco, Herdeiros) and representatives of all professions linked to the art of bullfighting, from bullfighting riders and banderilleros, as well as the Grupo de Forcados Amadores de Coruche.

On the hill overlooking the town, where a castle once stood and was the scene of frequent skirmishes between Muslims and Christians during the Reconquista, stands the Chapel of Our Lady of the Castle. According to oral tradition, it was founded by D. Afonso Henriques, and a portrait of this king is preserved there. It has undergone several restorations over the years and today stands gracefully and attractively, with its small temple and tower trimmed in the region's signature blue. From the viewpoint, there is a stunning panorama over the floodplain, a plain stretching as far as the eye can see, where the fields of the Sorraia unfold in shades of green and gold as far as the horizon.
