Avis is a historic town in the Alto Alentejo, shaped by the former Order of Avis, its castle and the São Bento convent. It is also a destination for nature and leisure, with the Maranhão Reservoir and the River Beach at Clube Náutico de Avis.
Avis was conquered from the Moors in 1211. Between 1214 and 1223 the castle was built, and the town became closely linked to the Military Order of Avis. Its importance continued with the Avis Dynasty, associated with King João I, leaving a heritage that still defines the historic centre today.
