Walled town on a hill, 10 km from Fátima · 1 h · Views of the valley

On a hill east of Fátima, the old town of Ourém keeps its wall, cobbled streets and the castle with its 15th-century palace of the counts, with views over the whole valley. It is a short, quiet walk for the afternoon, when the sanctuary esplanade is full.
Drive up to the upper town and park outside the wall.
