This tour of the historic centre begins in the Largo da Oliveira , which owes its name to an ancient olive-tree planted here. Ringed by typically picturesque northern houses, this is the ideal starting point for a walk around the city's streets.

On the eastern side, you must make sure to see a curious Gothic shrine built in the reign of Dom Afonso IV to commemorate the victory over the Moors at the Battle of Salado. Behind this is the Nossa Senhora de Oliveira Church  (or the Colegiada Church), a Gothic monument built at the orders of Dom João I, in fulfilment of a vow made in return for victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota (1385). Inside its gracious cloister, the Alberto Sampaio Museum is now housed, with its remarkable collection of mediaeval and Renaissance silverware.
