Covilhã, Portugal
© Vítor Oliveira
The modern town of Covilhã demonstrates interesting suburban developments of Serra da Estrela, Portugal.
Its textile factories from the 18th century gave way to sublime apartments from the 20th century. It still preserves the historic center of modest elegance and combines it with the University of Beira Interior, which gives it a modern urban environment.
The municipality is home to interesting places to visit such as the Museu de Lanifícios (Wool Museum), the Church of Santa Maria, the Cheese Museum, Wine Museum, the Museum of Sacred Art, Botanical Garden of the moutain, or its many bridges and elevators.
