Monsanto is one of my favorite villages in all of Europe (that I've visited, of course). It is literally built into the gigantic boulders that sit on the side of a mountain. It's ancient and awe-inspiring. A little out of the way to visit for a short stay in Portugal, but worth it if you're staying more than a few days, there's even a bus tour that takes you here plus a bunch of other villages with castles and ruins. (btw, the mountain is bigger than it looks in the photo, you can spot the red roofs of the village on the top left hand side and the castle is right at the top above it.)
I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves... enjoy and let me know if you have any questions. Oh, and here's a couple of links if you'd like to know it's history, etc. Monsanto, Portugal Wiki & Monsanto - PortugalVirtual.pt
