Zagallos Manor
In this 18th century country house, known today as Zagallos Manor, important cultural events take place, such as concerts, art exhibitions and workshops on traditional arts.
In addition to the permanent activities, the building itself is of interest: romantic gardens are annexed to it and within it one can find three chapels. These have in their interior the original glazed tiles (azulejos), a part of the three centuries of glazed tile history in Portugal.
The stuccoed ceilings and fresco walls of the manor are also worthy of a closer look.
