Citânia da Longa
Two walls of the Northern section of this pre-Roman fortified settlement are still visible. The first wall is still in a fairly good state of conservation, measuring over 2 metres high and over 1 metre wide. The entrance to the fort is still practically intact. The stones have been placed in a spearhead formation and it is still possible to see the vestiges of a fortified tower. The second wall is less well-preserved but its outline is still perfectly visible as are the walls of the former dwellings.
