Cruz do Arrife is a hilltop cross viewpoint above Torres Novas, ideal for wide landscape frames of the surrounding countryside. The stark cross against open sky makes strong silhouettes and leading lines, while the elevated position offers layered horizons for atmosphere. Visit at sunrise or sunset for warm light and long shadows; it’s usually calm on weekdays. Parking is roadside near the viewpoint; expect a short walk on uneven ground—no entry fees.
