Overview

🏰 Penela Castle: in the 11th century, during the time of Count Sesnando, it was one of the guardians of Coimbra during the Reconquista. Today it is a National Monument and offers stunning views over the village and the mountains.

🎅 Penela Nativity Scene: regarded as the biggest Christmas event in the Central Region, it transforms the medieval village into a true Christmas setting. The main attraction is a cinematic nativity scene that takes us on a journey back in time to Bethlehem as it was two thousand years ago. ✨ The tour continues with a visit to the traditional nativity scene, Father Christmas’s Magic House and the Christmas market.
