    Tips

    June 9, 2025

    In the heart of the Portuguese Alentejo lies a hidden gem that commemorates one of the most important moments in Portuguese history – the Monumento Evocativo da Batalha de Ourique. The Battle of Ourique holds an important place in Portuguese history. It took place on July 25, 1139, between the Christian troops led by King Afonso Henriques and the Moorish armies. Despite being outnumbered, Henriques' army emerged victorious. This victory was significant for two reasons: first, it marked an important step towards Portugal's independence from Muslim rule, and second, following his triumph in this battle, Afonso Henriques declared himself King Afonso I of Portugal.
