Portas de Ródao Natural Monument
Portas de Ródao Natural Monument, Natural monument at Tagus River, Portugal.
The natural formation consists of two massive quartz rocks rising 170 meters high, creating a narrowing passage for the Tagus River.
The geological transformations of Portas de Ródao began 2.5 million years ago, forming river terraces and platforms visible on the downstream margin.
The northern summit features the Castle of Ródão, named after a Visigoth king, offering views across the Tagus valley landscape.
The natural monument remains open throughout the day and night, allowing visitors to explore hiking trails and observe native wildlife.
The site provides nesting grounds for numerous bird species, including black storks, eagle owls, Egyptian vultures, and a colony of griffon vultures.
