Location

Located in the town of Coruche, in the heart of its Historic Centre, the Miradouro de Nossa Senhora do Castelo is situated at an elevated point. Its strategic position offers a comprehensive perspective, allowing for a detailed observation of the town and the vast surrounding landscape.

The Sorraia Plain

From this viewpoint, one's gaze extends over the immense floodplain, a plain that stretches to the horizon line. It is possible to contemplate the vast expanse of fields bathed by the Sorraia River, with their colours varying according to the season (from the intense green of spring to the golden hue of cereals in summer) forming a natural panorama of great breadth.

Panorama over the Town

The site also provides a unique view of Coruche. From here, the town's urban fabric, where the historic centre plays a central role, reveals itself integrated into the rural landscape. It is an opportunity for visitors to gain an understanding of the town's organisation and its harmonious connection with the natural surroundings, observing it from a privileged viewpoint.
