The Church of the Wounds of the Savior, also known as Our Lady of Remedies, is of medieval origin and its history is intertwined with the imagery created around the Battle of Ourique. According to legend, the temple was established as a vow by King Afonso Henriques after his victory over the five Moorish kings. The building was in ruins at the beginning of the 17th century, and King Philip III authorized its reconstruction in 1621, allocating the income from the landholdings of the Castro Verde Fair for this purpose. The Philippine church, whose construction lasted for many years, is a Mannerist-style building with a single nave, a developed chancel, a bell tower, and a well-proportioned facade. The interior incorporates elements from different eras, featuring, alongside Baroque altars and 17th and 18th-century religious imagery, individual figure tile panels and historical paintings on the theme of the Miracle of the Battle of Ourique, created by Diogo Magina. 👍

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.
