A medieval castle that was restored several times along the years. Of the primitive castle still remain the walls with battlements and turrets, the donjon with windows and the palace of the military commander. In the armory one can view interesting armour paintings, war trophies and the royal shield of Dom João V. The walls still have architectural visigothic elements.

The Monastery of Leça do Balio, already existing in the 10th century, was profoundly altered in the 14th century under the direction of Estêvão Vasques Pimentel. From the 16th century, several interventions by Diogo Pires, the “Moço” stand out. The monastery church, restored in 1930, is one of the most important examples of Gothic architecture in Portugal. In this church took place the marriage of King Dom Fernando and Dona Leonor Teles. It was also the first headquarters of the Military Order of the Hospital.

Built during the reign of Dom João IV, this fortress still maintains its primitive structure with its scuttles, its patrol walk and its stairways. The barrack, located in the middle of the stronghold and of the two waters rooftop, is very well preserved.

The building, founded in the reign of D. José, in 1771, is also known Cordoaria Nacional, Real Cordoaria da Junqueira, or Real Fábrica da Cordoaria da Junqueira.

Time seems to have stopped in this beautiful renaissance garden, located at the Largo de São Domingos de Benfica. The most relevant decorative characteristics of this palace are the stucco and the glazed tiles. The Salad as Batalhas, that evokes the heroic exploits of the Conde da Torre, is in the limelight. The yard gives access to the Chape and Venus Garden and here is also the Casa de Fresco. In front is the Lago Grande (big lake) that accompanies the Galeria dos Reis.
