A historic parish, very old, in 1257, when D. João Peres de Aboim arrived here, the Monastery of Vera Cruz probably already existed. It is the oldest monument in the municipality and owes its fame to the Relic of the Holy Wood, brought by a knight after the Seventh Crusade. Like the vast majority of inland Alentejo villages, it has been losing inhabitants. In 1960, it had over a thousand inhabitants; today, it has less than four hundred.

The restaurant serves at any time. You can have lunch at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. if you wish.

This restaurant serves until very late. I was served at 4 p.m. Impeccable service, very friendly staff. Excellent food.

A typical winery in Vila de Frades where, according to the popular song: "Vila de Frades no longer has abbots But it has wineries that are like cathedrals Their wines are brilliant They are enough to make you want more..."

Only sparse ruins remain at this site today, testifying to the monastery that once stood here, a place of lived faith for several centuries. User @Kathrin has already written a detailed post about the history, citing sources. Perhaps an explanation of the patronage is also interesting: people entrusted themselves to the Mother of God of Loreto. Loreto is an international Marian pilgrimage site in central Italy (the Marche region). The House of Mary, formerly located in Nazareth (Israel), is venerated there. It was probably dismantled and brought to Europe by crusaders at the end of the 13th century, when the era of Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end. However, this very rational assumption is contradicted by a much more interesting legend: According to this legend, four angels carried out the translation of the "Santa Casa" by flying the building across the Mediterranean.

The Alqueva Dam, located in the heart of the Alentejo, is one of Europe’s largest dams. Constructed on the Guadiana River and completed in 2002, it creates the Alqueva Reservoir, Western Europe’s largest artificial lake. The dam plays a crucial role in regional irrigation, water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. Additionally, it supports local tourism and wildlife habitats and exemplifies a completely transformational engineering achievement.
