Town Built Around Boulders

Town Built Around Boulders

Monday, September 19, 2011

The ancient Portuguese town of Monsanto looks very much the same as it has for centuries, due to building restrictions and the giant boulders that have been incorporated into the town’s construction. Some of the buildings were even built out of these giant boulders. The town is located in the countryside of Portugal next to a mountain making it a bit difficult to get there via public transportation.
