Some of the most interesting places to visit in Vidigueira are: the ruins of Vidigueira Castle, which stands out because of its stone and brick rigging and, also, because of its keep (still visitable); the Torre do Relógio Tower, from where the bell donated by Vasco da Gama in 1520 still rings; and the Igreja da Misericódia (1620), decorated with 18th century tiles.
