What To Expect

Castelo de Arouce - Lousa

Also known as Arouce Castle, it forms part of one of the first defensive lines created in the second half of the 11th century to control the southern accesses to Coimbra. According to an ancient legend, the castle has this name because it was built by the Moor emir Arunce to protect his daughter Peralta and his treasures, after he was defeated and expelled from Conimbriga.

Close to the Castle you can find the river beach complex of Our Lady of Mercy. Here, the main attractions are small cascade where you can refresh yourself and a swing over the water ready for a loving picture.
