Lousã Castle

Highlight • Castle

Arouce Castle, better known as Lousã Castle, can be visited free of charge. For the excellent view, it's worth climbing the tower.

Log Bridge Over Stream, Serra da Lousã

Highlight • Bridge

4.11 km

As we pass along the EN236, we almost miss the presence of Casal Novo. The village is located at the bend of the slope, on a steep slope, facing north, and the tree-covered surroundings of the village do not allow us to understand its profile.

Two or three perpendicular alleys and a few side entrances into spaces for public enjoyment break the continuum of buildings that, on one side and the other, straddle each other.
