Jardim do Fosso

Highlight • Rest Area

Since the Jardim do Fosso is one of the most coveted spaces for citizens and visitors to the Municipality, it is imperative that it is presented in the best conditions to receive them, so that the Municipality, in addition to the daily maintenance already carried out in the green spaces of the community, has done some work to add even more vibrancy to this place.

Having already replaced the public lighting in this garden, the Arronches City Council installed a new water source that gives a new look to the space that hosts annual events such as the São João Balls or the Alto Alentejo Dog Show.

Castelo de Vide

Highlight • Settlement

Far in the northeast of Alentejo lies Castelo de Vide, just a few kilometers from the border with Spain. The town is often called Cidade branca (white city), which is primarily due to the pretty whitewashed houses of the town. The highlight of the town (besides its great location in the Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede) is the 14th-century Castelo de São Roque. From the castle, you have a fantastic view of the old town. Other sights in Castelo de Vide include the old Jewish quarter with the oldest synagogue in Portugal and the numerous churches and chapels of the town.

View of Castelo de Vide

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Castelo de Vide is a small village that rises on gentle green hills. The fortress stands out among the cluster of white houses to stand out in the surrounding landscape.
From here you can enjoy a great view from the saddle of your bike.
