I have not been able to find the name of this beautiful palace nor the reason why it is abandoned and awaiting the rescue of the authorities, as it is deteriorating due to the total neglect of whoever is responsible.

The three most important architectural monuments of the 18th century are also located on the square: the church, the town hall and the former guard house.

Vila Real de Santo António Lighthouse

Built in the early 20th century, this lighthouse was crucial for guiding vessels on both the Guadiana River and the coast. It has undergone several modernization and reconstruction processes. Today, it is fully automated, with no lighthouse keepers on duty.
