Description of the place: Cabanas de Viriato is one of the biggest and the most typical towns in the country.

In Cabanas de Viriato, you will find vestiges of ancient manor houses. However, the most striking house is the one where Aristides de Sousas Mendes lived. He was the holocaust time hero, who was born and who died here.
