Follow the four-kilometre Caminho da Memória circular route. At Quinta das Freiras, panels recall the medieval Benedictine Monastery of São Cristóvão; the grounds are now public. The Rio Tinto railway station is known for multicoloured azulejos on its 1936 building.
The route follows the Rio Tinto, where old mills used water to grind grain; Cascata e Moinho recalls dozens of mills recorded in the 18th century. At the Igreja Matriz, look for blue-and-white azulejos, a gilded altar and Benedictine carvings.
