비아나 도 알렌테호‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 동굴

알벤투 성(Castelo de Alvito)은 포르투갈 알렌테주에 위치한 역사적인 요새화된 거주지로, 1993년부터 포르투갈의 명망 높은 Pousadas 네트워크에 속한 고급 호텔인 Pousada Castelo Alvito가 자리하고 있습니다.

알비투 성은 포르투갈 알렌테주 지역의 알비투 마을에 위치한 군사 기념물이자 여관입니다. 요새와 부유한 집의 기능을 겸비한 요새화된 궁전의 예로 여겨집니다. 또한 여러 고딕 및 마누엘 양식 요소와 이슬람의 영향을 결합한 스타일의 조합으로도 두드러집니다. (출처: 위키백과) 알비투 성은 현재 여관입니다.

Place where the Peace Treaty of Alcáçovas was signed in 1479, between the kingdom of Portugal and the kingdom of Castile.

The Pego do Altar Dam is located a few kilometres from Alcácer do Sal and was built in 1949 to supply the agricultural area of the Sado River valley and to produce electricity. Today it is very popular with foreigners in their motorhomes and with sports fishing enthusiasts. It is a magical place due to its landscapes, its capacity for leisure activities and its importance in irrigating the fields, where the main irrigated crop is rice. Not far from the Pego do Altar Dam, the village of Santa Susana has a curious feature: some buildings with modernist architecture from the 1940s, which are due to a benefactor of the region, Henrique Louro Fernandes, whose monogram (HF) can be found on some of them. A small church, with two 16th-century panels inside, somewhat deteriorated but magnificent, completes the interesting visit to this place. Recently, the drought that hit this area “uncovered” an old 200-year-old bridge that was submerged by the waters of the dam.

Situated at a high point in the midst of the Alentejo plains, and offering extensive views over the distant horizons, the graceful town of Alvito has grown around its palatial castle, where the Pousada de Alvito is now housed. The white houses give Alvito the distinct and unmistakable appearance of an Alentejo town, many of them having doors framed by Manueline-style arches, revealing their seventeenth-century origin. The settlement of this town dates back to the early days of the Portuguese monarchy. The town was granted its first charter by the king D. Dinis in 1327, later confirmed by D. Manuel in 1516. The Alvito Castle, whose construction began in 1494, is undoubtedly one of the most curious buildings of its kind in Portugal. Visiting it helps to evoke memories of the town´s historical past. The long Moorish presence in this region left its distinctive marks in the Mudejar architecture clearly visible in various monuments (which laymen can easily recognise through the small cupolas and white-painted conical pinnacles). The parish church of Nossa Senhora da Assunção, dating back to the early sixteenth century, has certain exterior decorative features that clearly identify it as an example of Mudejar architecture. A modest Renaissance doorway leads to the interior, its walls covered in azulejo panels whose beautiful patterns are a harmonious blend of blue and yellow. In the upper choir, there is a large seventeenth-century altarpiece of carved and gilded wood. The same Mudejar influence is also to be noted in the small fortified chapel of São Sebastião, crowned by an array of chamfered merlons. Inside, painted on the vaulted Gothic ceiling are frescos depicting musical angels. Attention is also drawn to the town hall with its picturesque clock tower, a typical feature of Alentejo architecture. Two almost adjoining churches, the Igreja da Misericórdia and the Igreja da Senhora das Candeias (the latter housing a museum of Sacred Art), are equally interesting buildings of some architectural merit, as is the small chapel of Santa Luzia on the outskirts of the town, which was originally a Muslim oratory.

In Praça da República, in the center of Alvito, you will find this bandstand, which was once the stage for philharmonic band concerts. The lower part currently houses public and accessible toilets.👍🇵🇹
