Constância
Where the Tagus meets the Zêzere: lanes, white houses and a tradition that ties the town to Camões.
Vi já que a Primavera, de contente,
de mil cores alegres, revestia
o monte, o rio, o campo, alegremente.
Known as the “Vila Poema” (Poem Village), Constância charms visitors with its picturesque narrow streets, white houses and deep-rooted traditions.
Set where the Tagus and Zêzere rivers meet, it is a perfect destination for nature and history lovers. Casa João Chagas, in the heart of the town, is a good base from which to explore it.
