Overview

This is a different look at the city, the people who shaped it and the works they left for posterity - The Timeless Giants of Guarda.
Travel back in time, to the 12th century, with D. Sancho I, the colonist, and uncover his main concerns.
Already in the 14th century, discover the magnificent Sé Cathedral of Guarda and be amazed by the interior and the view from the terraces.
Continue your journey, discover the ancient streets with giant steps, cross the walls and centuries, until you return to the present and learn why the Rooster is judged and burned at the stake every year.
Meet other Giants who helped fill the pages of the stories of this magnificent city:
- Rui de Pina; Frei Pedro do Guarda; Lopo de Carvalho and Sousa Martins; José Maria Pedrosa.
