Today we decided to give viewing ancient buildings a miss and and just have a drive out to the seaside. On our way to Figuira da Foz, we passed this castle on a hill, this we had to visit.
Montemor-o-Velho, on a hill rising from the marshy plain is simply a beautiful well looked after castle, not much there except for a little church and well kept pathways and grounds.We really enjoyed just walking around the grounds.
The church and inside- very simple.
More views of the church and grounds.
The northern part of Figuera da Foz beach.
Looking south to Figueira da Foz.A really enjoyable drive through the countryside around the city of Coimbra
