Overview
The best way to know a site is with a local guide, and better with a licensed one born on the city!
From its Muslim to the Napoleonic invasions, Elvas was accumulating a series of odd fortifications, making this city a major garrison and the biggest bastion walls in the world.
We will go through the successive lines of walls built by the militaries along the centuries, from the Muslim walls of the 9th century to the fortifications that General Wellington projected around the town. Just imagine soldiers walking around the barracks while women go to the churches praying for their lives. Secret streets, monasteries, barracks, medieval towers, Jews quarters and the delicious Elvas Plums are the ingredients to this premium tour we want to share with you.
