The Historical Roots of the Place

The area where the viewpoint is located has a history with deep roots. The toponym "Reguengo" evokes ancient times, referring to lands that belonged directly to the crown, leased to farmers in past eras. The parish of Reguengo Grande, which hosts this viewpoint, has medieval origins and was the stage for significant moments throughout the centuries, including episodes associated with the Roman presence in the Iberian Peninsula and the French Invasions. The landscape visible from this point is, therefore, a setting of centuries of history and experiences.
