カストロ・ベルデのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Ermida de São Pedro das Cabeças（Capela de São Pedro das Cabeçasとしても知られる）は、バイーシャ・アレンテージョ地方、カストロ・ヴェルデ市、ジェラルドス教区にある、マニエリスム様式とアレンテージョ地方の民俗建築様式による宗教的記念碑です。この場所は、ポルトガル建国の神話の強い民衆の伝統と伝説によれば、1139年7月25日に歴史的なオリケの戦いが起こった正確な地点を示すことで有名です。この戦いで、D.アフォンソ・エンリケスは、イエス・キリストの神聖な啓示を受けた後、5人のムーア王の軍隊を打ち破り、ポルトガル国王として宣言されました。👍🥾

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. 👍

This lookout offers spectacular views of the surrounding valley and mountains, making it a great place to take in the scenery. Its name comes from the nearby Ermida de Santo Amaro, a small chapel that adds a touch of spirituality and history to the site. It is a perfect place for a quick stop to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of the region.

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.

The Casa D. Maria on Rua Fialho de Almeida is a palatial building from the 20th century with many staircases and towers, but looks older than it is.

The Church of Our Lady of the Resurrection was built in the 18th century on the site where King Sebastião held mass before embarking on his ill-fated expedition to Morocco. The church was built during the Portuguese Enlightenment under the patronage of Queen Maria I.
