Driving up to the castle we began to see the lovely walled town of cobblestone streets. The castle sitting atop the hill became our hone for two nights and what a home it was! Lovely rooms with updated bathrooms, appropriately decorated. Ours had a little sitting room and a beautiful view of the vineyards below. The restaurant serves good regional food and a plentiful breakfast. I hope we’ll be back some day!

Monsaraz is one of the gems of Portugal and after the major urban centres of Lisbon and Porto, should be one of the first in the list of places to visit when touring Portugal. Monsaraz has preserved its medieval buildings and town walls, although settlement on the hill dates from prehistory. The walls proved ineffective as the town passes from Christians to Muslims, back to Christians and back to Muslims and once the Muslims were defeated it passed between the Spanish and the Portuguese. These days it's possible to walk along part of the walls and castle and see the splendid views they offer over the surrounding countryside. Well worth a visit and highly recommended. You cannot drive into the town, but there are several carparks outside the walls and then a short walk of 100 metres, or so, into the town.

Despite its emptiness in the off season the place is wonderful. If you are a senior it will cost you a euro! Park near the main archway or go through it. In high season you will have to park a bit further away and walk.

We didn't enter the castle itself, so can't comment on the museum inside, but this is a fab place to walk around the walls of the old town - amazing really that they're still accessible to the public without any railings or barriers! Great views out towards the ducal palace and countryside all around, and the huge, well-kept cemetery inside the walls themselves.
