"Honra de Barbosa" is a noble estate founded in the 12th century by Mem Moniz of Ribadouro (c. 1075-1154) – the brother of Egas Moniz (1080-1146), known as governor and schoolmaster of the first king of Portugal. It has a central crenelated tower – rebuilt between the 15th and 16th centuries –, which is divided into two floors and topped by Manueline [style also known as Portuguese late Gothic, which develops during the reign of King Manuel I (k. 1495-1521)] merlons. Within the perimeter of the "Honra de Barbosa", you will also find a 17th-century chapel dedicated to the God Child, the old town hall, the jail and the pillory. Your visit to the "Honra de Barbosa" should be booked in advance.
