Getting here

By car — Messejana is close to the A2 motorway (Aljustrel exit): about two hours from Lisbon and an hour and a half from Faro and the Algarve airport.

By bus — Rede Expressos coaches link Lisbon to Aljustrel, the nearest bus terminal.

By train — the nearest station is Funcheira, on the Lisbon–Algarve line.

The last stretch is easier by car or taxi — tell us when you are arriving and we will help you plan it.

Messejana

A quiet town with a long history: its name probably comes from the Arabic masjana; it was taken back from the Moors in 1235, its castle was restored by King Dinis in 1288 and it received its town charter in 1512. The Misericórdia church and the Franciscan convent date from the 1560s.

Today it is a town of white houses and narrow streets around the main square, with the open landscape of the Alentejo plains all around — and our houses, labs and studios a few minutes' walk from each other.
