Castelo Branco has a history that dates back to Roman times, but it was during the Middle Ages that it gained greater importance. Its name derives from the castle built by the Knights Templar in the 13th century. This castle, although in ruins, remains an important landmark of the city and offers stunning panoramic views of the region.

Another point of interest is the Garden of the Episcopal Palace, one of the most beautiful Baroque gardens in Portugal, with impressive statues, fountains, and staircases. The Cargaleiro Museum, dedicated to the work of artist Manuel Cargaleiro, is also a must-visit for art lovers.
