Monsanto: Portuguese village where boulders replace roofs
Monsanto is a town in Portugal's Beira Baixa region where houses are literally built into granite rock — boulders serve as walls and roofs. The most famous building is Casa de Uma Só Telha, covered by a single massive boulder. Monsanto won a competition for the most Portuguese village in Portugal, and a silver rooster atop the 14th-century Torre de Lucano commemorates the title.
