Places of interest
In 1809-10 several forts were constructed in the municipality as part of the Lines of Torres Vedras, which were defensive lines to protect the Portuguese capital Lisbon from invasion by the French during the Peninsular War (1807–14) or, in the event of defeat, to safely embark the British Army led by the Duke of Wellington. Two of the hilltop forts, the Fort of Carvalha and the Fort of Cego, were recently restored and can be visited.[4]
