Two crenulated towers (part of the fortifications made in the 14th century) face the river at the end of Rua Cardeal Saraiva. The Torre da Cadeia Velha now houses temporary art exhibitions and the turismo .
Fragments of the walls survive behind and between this and the other tower, the Torre de São Paulo . Note the somewhat bizarre azulejo image on its front wall, entitled Cabras são Senhor! (They’re goats m’lord!) – a reference to a local story in which Dom Afonso Henriques almost attacked a herd of goats, apparently mistaking them for Moors.
Behind the tower is the rather staid, mostly 15th-century igreja matriz , sporting a pretty Romanesque doorway.
