The best MTB trails around Degracias e Degracias e Degracias e Pombalinho

Conímbriga, an ancient city of Lusitania, is the most impressive Roman complex in Portugal, a place where history still breathes among its baths, forum, amphitheater, and uniquely delicate mosaics, such as those in the famous House of Fountains. Although only a small part has been excavated, the grandeur the city held throughout its almost six centuries under Roman rule is evident. The second wall, hastily erected with stone taken from entire buildings, reveals a time of threat and decline, a prelude to the abandonment that followed the Suebian invasions. Today, among fallen columns and pavements that still gleam in the sun, Conímbriga continues to intrigue and amaze, preserving in its ruins the stories that time has almost erased.

Mountain bike trail through the woods. It has some tight curves, up and down ditches, some rocks, but it is pleasant to do.

Ordered to be built by D. Pedro I in the second quarter of the 14th century, with the intention of collecting tributes/taxes owed by the Jews and Moors on St. Martin's Day. This building with Manueline characteristics separated the old town of Pombal, to the east, towards the Castle, from the new town, to the west, towards the Arunca river, serving as a border to what was inside and outside the town's walls. In 1509, during the reign of D. Manuel I, it underwent structural improvements, and he ordered the installation of a mechanical clock and a bell, so that the ringing of the Trindades would always sound at the right time. Around 1776, the Marquis of Pombal had this bell transferred to the Prison building. In 2014 it underwent improvement works, with the aim of welcoming its visitors by making its history known.

the castle of Germanelo, started construction in 1142, has a circumference of 107 meters. The part of the N. wall, which has been largely restored, offers a highlight of 18 niches. Only ruins have been preserved, of the other two parts that are slightly above ground level. A circular pit and traces of foundations satirize the existence of buildings in the small courtyard with weapons.
