    The Praça do Conselheiro Silva Torres is the main square, outside the southern entrance of the walled town; it is adorned by an important renaissance fountain (by João Lopes o Velho, 1551-53). The Palace of the Pittas (15-16C) has the owners' coats of arms in the facade.

    Also facing the square is the Old Town Hall, with the tourist office; in the second floor is good timbered meeting room. From the tourism office, stairs lead to the top of the Clock Tower, the medieval keep (small fee; good view). To its right is the Misericórdia church, with some baroque altars and an old organ in the upper choir.

    Ricardo Joaquim de Sousa Street, sided by good medieval and renaissance houses, leads from the main square to the Igreja Matriz - the town's main church. In this street is the local museum (modest collections; entrance by a rear alley).

    The impressive Igreja Matriz is a large transitional building of the 15-16C, with Gothic, "Manuelino" and Renaissance elements. Inside, the timber roof of the main nave is one of the most important woodcarving pieces in the country; side altars, tiles and the pulpit also deserve inspection.

    There are remains of fortifications from the 13C to the 18C.

    The late-19C Railway Station has a set of good tiles depicting old-days economic activities.

    3 km south, by local roads, the Miradouro de Santo Antão offers a good view over the Minho and Coura valleys, the surrounding mountains, and portions of the Atlantic coast.
