Itinerario

1. Almourol Castle is located in the parish of Praia do Ribatejo, municipality of Vila Nova da Barquinha, district of Santarém, in Portugal, although its location is often attributed to Tancos, as it is the closest town and from where it can be seen best. . Built on a granite outcrop 18 meters above water level, on a small island 310 meters long and 75 meters wide, in the middle course of the Tagus River, slightly below its confluence with the Zêzere River, at the time of the Reconquista it was part of the so-called Tagus Line, currently the Templar Tourism Region. It constitutes one of the most representative examples of military architecture of the time, simultaneously evoking the beginnings of the kingdom of Portugal and the Order of the Templars, an association that reinforces its aura of mystery and romanticism. With the extinction of the Order of the Temple, the castle of Almourol became part of the heritage of the Order of Christ (which was the successor in Portugal to the Order of the Templars).

The beginning of its construction dates back to 1160 and is closely linked to the beginnings of the Kingdom of Portugal and the role then played by the Order of the Templars, where it had its Portuguese headquarters, having subsequently been reconfigured and expanded by the heir Order of Christ.

About Lisbona

Lisbona scende dalle sue colline fino al Tago: facciate di azulejos, tram gialli sferraglianti, belvedere e cene tarde senza fretta.

I quartieri antichi racchiudono la maggior parte del fascino. Il groviglio di vicoli dell'Alfama sale al Castello di São Jorge e la sera risuona di fado, la griglia ordinata della Baixa scende fino alla vasta Praça do Comércio sul fiume, e il Bairro Alto e il Chiado alternano librerie e caffè di giorno a locali di notte. Belvedere come Santa Luzia e Senhora do Monte inquadrano tetti rossi e acque scintillanti.
