Monsanto

The Monsanto inselberge forms a granite spur that rises to an altitude of 762 metres where a castle founded during the reconquest from the Arabs stands. Its natural beauty and rich heritage have made it the setting of choice for films and series, but also for a mobility and accessibility project based on people's enjoyment of public space, in line with the principles of the New European BAUHAUS, soon to be incorporated into a load capacity system to monitor tourist flows in order to achieve a harmonious balance between visitors and the destination area.
Its physiognomy takes the form of a granite archipelago that stands out as "island hills", which has earned the Historical Village the UNESCO designation of Geomonument within the NATURTEJO GEOPARK.
The Historic Village of Monsanto has a wireless network for free use in public spaces and has developed actions in the field of physical and digital accessibility, two networking projects promoted by the AHP-ADT with the 10 municipalities that make part of the Historic Villages of Portugal Network.
