Monday Morning Photo - Medieval Marvão, Alto Alentejo, Portugal

This fabulous little walled town is one of the most beautiful hilltop towns in Portugal. Saramago said ¨From Marvão you can see the whole earth.¨ 

It´s certainly true you can see a long way, in all directions and of course to Spain as it´s very close to the Spanish border and city of Cáceres. Roman remains and narrow cobbled streets are overlooked by a medieval castle and its walls. To get into the town itself you can drive through the ancient entrances.
