Founded around 300 BC, the town of Arraiolos is crowned by it's the fourteenth century castle and the huge Church of the Savior, built in the sixteenth century, surrounded by high walls and spreads down the slopes with its typical houses painted white with a blue stripe.

But it's fame comes from its famous Arraiolos carpets, which decorate palaces, manors and homes across the country. It is still common to see women embroidering in colorful wool in front of their houses when the weather is fine, or by the window in small dark rooms during Winter, thus giving continuity to an art that has begun with the Moors in the twelfth century and reached its maximum splendor with the floral designs of the eighteenth century.
