Throughout the city you will find historic testimony of the faith that the city once exuded such as in Se Cathedral. If you drive in a southerly direction, past the orchards, you will come to Batalha. Founded in thanksgiving for a major military victory in 1385, the Batalha Monestary (Mosteiro de Santa Mariada Vitoria de Batalha) is an excellent example of medieval Portugal and was added to UNESCOâs World Heritage list in 1983. Slightly northeast of Batalha is Fatima, a renowned pilgrimage site. Slightly further east lies the peaceful town of Tomar. Each stone here testifies to an eventful past. This is a great place to walk around and admire the pretty facades of the houses, churches and other buildings. Slightly south, along the coast, lies picturesque Nazaré. In this typical Portuguese fishing village time seems to have stood still. Because there is no port, the fishermen bring the ships to the beach using oxen. Many women still do their laundry in the river. At night, when the fishermen return, there is always a pleasant crowd to greet them. The fish dry on racks at the beach. Other attractions include the Largo do Seminario, the Largo Central and Portas do Sol, and the nineteenth century Belvedere with its magnificent gardens of which one overlooks the Tagus River. You also have a beautiful view of the city from the Tower das Cabacas. This tower, also known as Torre do Relogio, once served as a watchtower. The view from here is really overwhelming.
