Moura is a pretty Alentejo town situated close to the River Guadiana. D. Dinis (1279-1325) rebuilt Moura’s fortifications and gave the town its first charter in 1295 and D. Manuel I (1495-1521) ordered the Castle to be rebuilt by master builder Francisco de Arruda. You will find some delightful churches: the parish church of São João Baptista and the churches of Carmo and São Francisco are all worth visiting. Moura has a unique example of early 17th-century military architecture, known as the Edifício dos Quartéis. At one end is the chapel of Senhor Jesus dos Quartéis. The region produces some excellent wines.
