Located in the middle of Cova da Beira and wide view over the eastern slope of Serra da Estrela, Belmonte village fully justifies the features that have given the it's name.
Tradition has it that the name Belmonte comes from the place where the village stands (beautiful or handsome hill "monte"). However, there are those who give the origin of "belli hill" - Hill of war. Land of sunny, good people, endless landscapes and a history of centuries.
