Monsanto

Located on the slope of a steep hill known as the 'Cabeço de Monsanto', in this Historical Village the houses hide among the stones forming a picturesque and magnificent setting. The Tagus International Natural Park and the Penha Garcia Iconological Park form part of the ever-changing and exciting landscapes of the Historical Village of Monsanto. Monsanto's typical dishes are goat or lamb broth, always seasoned with mint. In terms of confectionery, a highlight is cornmeal pudding.
