Palácio dos Maldonados
This palace was built in the middle of the XVI century by a local family named Furtado Mendonça. It is still possible to observe the arms of this family over the main door of the building. It presents a renascent profile. In the end of the XIX century the palace was used as headquarters of the Liceu de Beja and nowadays it became a students’ residence.
