The Ortiga Murals are located on the Ortiga-Mação municipal road, in the Pontão area, at an altitude of 170 meters.
From this vantage point, travelers can see the Albufeira da Barragem, the River Tagus, the mouth of the Ribeira D Eiras, the Ortiga River Beach, Belver Castle and the village of Ortiga in the north.
Both murals are 46 meters long.
This work, owned by the Ortiga Parish Council, was created by the artist VIOLANT, using water-based paints, and was conceived and accompanied by ROTAS DE MAÇÃO.
