Monsanto

About

On the hillside of the Mount Monsanto, the earliest traces of man in this area date back to the stone age. The town has a positively Flintstone-ian feel to it, incorporating natural granite boulders and caves into the construction of the local houses. Visitors will be transported back in time as they stroll through the narrow streets and alleyways, admiring the truly surreal setting. Climbing up the mountain, visitors can also visit the ruins of the Castle of Monsanto, a 12th-century medieval castle that overlooks the surrounding nearby town and village. One-of-a-kind architecture and enthralling vistas are just a few of the things waiting for you in this fascinating little village.
