The interior is adorned with tiled panels that illustrate local history, offering both a culinary and visual introduction to the region.

2
Fort of St. Philip

This 16th-century fortification stands above the city of Setubal and provides sweeping panoramic views of the Sado River and the Trojan Peninsula. Built to defend the region from maritime invasions, it remains one of the most atmospheric historic landmarks in southern Portugal.
