Santarém

Santarém is best known within Portugal for its historic hilltop centre above the Tagus River. Long associated with the Ribatejo region, the city stands at the edge of the river’s broad alluvial plain, where farming and horse culture remain central to local identity. Its old quarter preserves an important collection of Portuguese Gothic architecture, including the Church of Grace, home to the tomb of navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral. The Portas do Sol garden occupies the site of the former castle and overlooks the Tagus lowlands. Santarém also hosts the annual National Agriculture Fair, a major date in Portugal’s rural calendar.
