ポルタレグレの洞窟・トップ18

アルentejoの北東端に位置するCastelo de Videは、スペインとの国境からわずか数キロの距離にあります。この町は、主に美しい白い漆喰の家々から、Cidade branca（白い町）として知られています。この町のハイライト（Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamedeの素晴らしいロケーションに加えて）は、14世紀に建てられたCastelo de São Roqueです。城からは旧市街の素晴らしい景色を眺めることができます。Castelo de Videのその他の見どころには、ポルトガルで最も古いシナゴーグがある古いユダヤ人地区や、町の数多くの教会や礼拝堂があります。

このアーチ型の貯水槽は城壁内にあり、中世後期の改築の明らかな兆候にもかかわらず、当時アラブの村であったイブン・マルアンの村のために雨水を貯めるために、おそらく9世紀頃に建てられたと考えられています。 印象的な場所です。 http://www.monumentos.gov.pt/site/app_pagesuser/SIPA.aspx?id=36148

This castle differs significantly from other castles in Portugal, as it is more of a fortress than a royal residence. It is located to the north of the city, with very thick and high castle walls. Due to its strategic location at the highest point in the city, the top of the castle and its ramparts offer magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

A place to visit every month. It's wonderful.

The current pillory dates from the years immediately following the granting of the New Charter by King Manuel in 1512 and reflects his Manueline, albeit very rustic, style. The monument stands in front of the 16th-century district jail building and next to the clock tower, also from the 16th century, in the square that bears his name. It stands on a base with four octagonal steps and consists of an octagonal shaft set directly into the upper step, formed by five drums with mortar joints.

The Porta de Marvão is a medieval gate in the fortified town of Marvão, serving as the village's main entrance. The town is situated in the Serra de São Mamede mountains and offers panoramic views of the surrounding Alentejo region. Marvão's narrow streets are lined with whitewashed houses featuring Gothic arches and Manueline doorways. The well-preserved 13th-century castle is a focal point, offering visitors a glimpse into the town's rich history and strategic importance. The Porta de Rodão was built much later, in the 17th century, to bolster defenses during the War of Independence against Spain in the mid-17th century. A small parking area is located in front of it. Due to the narrow streets and almost complete lack of parking, driving through the gate into Marvão is strongly discouraged. Another fortified gate, providing pedestrian access to Vila Marvão, is located to the east. This one is also worth a visit.

A lovely little area in the middle of this picturesque, historic castle town. A beautifully maintained garden with a refreshing pond-like fountain in the lower middle section. The small hedges surrounding the flowerbeds, with their narrow patches of space between them, invite you to wander. The view of the castle and the surrounding countryside is breathtaking. I highly recommend a visit to this small but perfectly landscaped park.

The fortified town of Marvão, 12 kilometers from Quinta do Pomarinho, is also known as the "Eagle's Nest." It boasts a spectacular location on a granite cliff, atop one of the peaks of the Serra de São de Mamede mountain range. Completely walled, Marvão is situated in the Alto Alentejo region, near the Spanish border, which was once controlled from the village. The town of Marvão owes its name to Ibn Maruane, an Arab military leader who sought refuge here in the 11th century. He hid on Mount Ammaia and built a castle there, in the most remote and inaccessible spot he could find. Years later, the castle was transformed into a medieval fortress. Its location made it a strategic defensive position, nestled among hills with slopes to the north, south, and west, accessible only on foot from the village. For many years, Marvão was a municipality heavily and significantly involved in numerous military conflicts in the region. Today, Marvão is a rather sleepy town, but one where you can enjoy wonderful walks. More information can be found here: https://www.feriasemportugal.com/marvao
