The town of Marvão stands out from other towns in a unique way. It was built at the top of the Sapoio Ridge, at altitude ranges varying between 800 and 860 metres, on a platform fully surrounded by walls.

At its feet, the Campo d'Ammaia of the Marvão Golf Club displays 18 holes with tees of over 6,000 metres, combined with a diversity of exit routes for each hole. This allows use of the green by players of all levels and sets the necessary conditions for the organisation of international tournaments.
