Alvito Old Town

Whitewashed Alentejo streets with Manueline doorways, churches, a clock tower, and quiet squares.

Alvito's old town is compact enough to wander without a route. Look for Manueline-style door frames on white houses, the town hall clock tower, and the small churches around the centre.

The pleasure is in the details rather than a single grand square. Give it time, especially in the cooler parts of the day when the white walls and narrow lanes feel less harsh.
