Castro do Monte Padrão, Archaeological site and nature reserve at Monte Córdova, Santo Tirso, Portugal.
The Monte Padrão complex extends across elevated terrain, featuring stone fortification walls and ancient dwelling structures overlooking the Sanguinhedo River.
Archaeological excavations at Monte Padrão reveal continuous habitation from the 9th century BC through the Late Middle Ages, with remains of three defensive wall lines.
The interpretive center presents artifacts from different settlement periods, including Bronze Age tools, Roman ceramics, and medieval metal objects from local excavations.
The interpretive center opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:30, weekends from 14:00 to 19:00 between April and September, with free admission.
A medieval chapel dedicated to São Rosendo stands within the complex, built over an earlier structure near a necropolis with granite slab tombs.
