It is located on Rua das Portas do Sol, City of Covilhã belonging to the district of Castelo Branco, in the province of Beira Baixa, Centro region and sub-region of Beiras and Serra da Estrela
At the Miradouro das Portas do Sol it is possible to get a sense of the castle's dominance of the landscape, from which the main accesses to the city were controlled, and the contours of the old border with the kingdom of Castile dazzle.
In Covilhã, urban art is most visible on Rua das Portas do Sol, making the city more interesting, giving it a younger and more modern perspective, the art adapts to the old, a very interesting walk where we mix with the locals.
In the historic center of Covilhã, after walking through narrow streets and a little uphill we see the Portas do Sol with spectacular views. A walk through the historic area of the city allows you to see magnificent panoramic views combining a route with the history of a city.
At the Miradouro, you can see the old city walls with historic houses where they are now inhabited, located in the historic district, alleys of the Jewish quarter and at the top, providing a wide view of the entire valley.
At the Miradouro you can see natural phenomena such as the sunrise or sunset, and you can also get a spectacular view over Covilhã and Serra da Estrela.
Visitors strolling through the streets of Covilhã's Jewish quarter arrive at Rua Portas do Sol and its Miradouro, and in the past, the city's entrances were monitored from there.
Visitors walk through the streets, courtyards and alleys of the historic center of Covilhã, and when stopping at the Portas do Sol viewpoint, admire the street art (Street/Urban art) that is beginning to form part of the points of interest in the city of Covilhã.
A beautiful view over the lower part of the city, the area of the University Rectory and Cova da Beira located within the old city walls and with a sundial to decorate it.
A walking visit to the historic neighborhood of "Portas do Sol" is perhaps the best tour in this city, and the very old historic area (construction began in the 12th century) is residential within the old wall.
The area has been restored (walks and lighting), and has a magnificent viewpoint, a stunning view of the "Cova da Beira" region where all the houses are very old and have a unique architecture.
The area has a lot of granite and has some cafes and some graffiti on walls worthy of urban art.
The choice of the Miradouro and Rua Portas do Sol is a historical reference, because in the past the Portas do Sol were the main door of the wall and had a wall to defend the city from enemy attacks.
