At 1,056 metres above sea level, Guarda is the highest city in Portugal. About 32,111 people live here in the Serra da Estrela foothills. The city's medieval nickname, the city of the five Fs (fria, forte, farta, fiel, formosa: cold, strong, abundant, faithful, beautiful), still appears on tourist materials. The Se da Guarda, a fortress-like granite cathedral begun in 1390 and completed in 1540, mixes Gothic and Manueline styles across its 150-year construction.
The Serra da Estrela, Portugal's highest mountain range peaking at Torre (1,993 metres), begins south of the city. The range holds mainland Portugal's only ski resort and produces the country's most famous cheese, Queijo Serra da Estrela, a DOP-protected sheep's milk cheese with a creamy interior. The Torre summit, where a small stone tower was added to push the height to exactly 2,000 metres, offers views across the plateau in all directions.
Guarda guards the Coa Valley to the east, where open-air Palaeolithic rock art discovered in the 1990s led to the creation of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The engravings, dating to 20,000 years ago, depict horses, aurochs, and deer. Hotels in Guarda accommodate companion meetings.
