Hello adventurous friends, today I bring a quite medieval post and it is that I traveled more than 150km to the village of Evoramonte to visit one of the most iconic castles in the country, first for its slightly more "modern" structure, but in reality the main one. The attraction of the Castle is the history that is housed here, it was here where two kings of Portugal met to sign a peace treaty (Concession of Evoramonte) to end the liberal war between the two of them. How about we take a tour of the village and the castle and also see some Moorish architecture.🌍⛲
Hola amigos aventureros, hoy traigo un post bastante medieval y es que viaje mas de 150km hasta la aldea de Evoramonte para visitar a uno de los Castillos mas iconicos del pais, primero por su estructura un poco mas "moderna", pero en realidad el principal atractivo del Castillo es la historia que aqui se alberga, fue aqui donde dos reyes de Portugal se reunieron para firmar un tratado de paz (Concesion de Evoramonte) para acabar la guerra liberal entre ellos dos. Que te parece si hacemos un recorrido en la aldea y el castillo y tambien ver un poco de arquitectura Moro.🏰🌳🗺️
Why visit Evoramonte?🧭🏰 / Por que visitar Evoramonte?🌍🚩
Evoramonte are one of those villages that have a little bit of everything to spend an unforgettable vacation, first in the surroundings just under 30 minutes away you have some rivers which you can use to swim or practice water sports, then within the fortified village there are hotels, restaurants, plenty economical, and to add an interesting plus, the climate in Evora is quite hot. If you come from a Nordic country in search of heat, then Evoramonte has everything you need.🏰🌍
Evoramonte son de esas aldeas que tienen de todo un poco para pasar unas vacaciones inolvidables, primero a los alrededores poco menos de 30minutos tienes algunos rios el cual puedes usar para banarte o practicar deportes acuaticos, luego tiene dentro de la villa fortificada hoteles, restaurantes bastante economicos, y para agregar un plus interesante el clima en Evora es bastante caliente si vienes de un pais nordico en busca de calor entonces Evoramonte tiene todo lo que necesitas.👸🏻🌎
Access and transportation🧭🏰 / Accesos y transportes🌍🚩
The bad news is that the village of Evoramonte has transport but in the center and not here in the fortified village so yes or if you need personal transport, the roads are good and you can take the N18 or alternative roads, you can only enter the village through the north or south door. Normally these isolated villas in Evora are economical.👸🏻🌍
La mala noticia es que la aldea de evoramonte tiene transporte pero en el centro y no aqui en la villa fortificada asi que si o si necesitas transporte personal, las carreteras son buenas y puedes tomar la N18 o carreteras alternativas, solo puedes entrar en la villa por la puerta norte o sur. Normalmente estas villas aisladas en Evora son economicas.🏰🌳
Legacy of the Moors🧭🏰 / Legado de los Moros🌍🚩
After the Romans abandoned Portugal for hundreds of years, the Moors were the ones who occupied the country, especially in the south, since the nation was established from the limit of Lisbon to the north to Guimaraes, therefore in order to reconquer the country they had to expel themselves and fight against the Moors, and that would happen from the 11th and 12th centuries, however when we visited the town of Entremonte we could still get objects, culture and architecture from the Moors, in reality the name of Evora and almost all the names of Portugal are of Arabic origin .🏰🌍
Posteriormente de los Romanos abandonar Portugal por cientos de anos los Moros fueron quienes ocuparon el pais sobre todo en el sur ya que la nacion estaba establecida del limite de Lisboa para el norte hasta guimaraes, por tanto para poder reconquistar el pais debia expulsarse y luchar contra los Moros, y eso sucederia a partir del siglo XI y XII sin embargo cuando visitamos la villa de Entremonte aun podriamos conseguir objetos, cultura y arquitectura de los Moros, en realidad el nombre de Evora y casi todos los nombres de Portugal son de origen Arabico.👸🏻👨🏻🏫👳🏻♂️
"Sao Pedro de Fora" church🏰🌍
My first stop is at this beautiful church called: "São Pedro" which already had some small buildings in the 16th century which served more as an altar than anything else, later only the church was built as you see it in the photo in In 1910, for people not to have to go to the center of Evoramonte, the Catholic Church built their own church here, despite being very new, it still has those medieval touches and is worth visiting, in front is the cemetery.🧭🌏
Mi primera parada es en esta bonita iglesia llamada: "São Pedro" la cual ya tenia algunas pequenas construcciones en el siglo XVI el cual servia mas como altar que otra cosa, posteriormente solo se construye la iglesia tal cual como la ves en la foto en 1910, para las personas no tener que ir al centro de Evoramonte la iglesia catolica les construyo aqui su propio iglesia, apesar de ser muy nueva tiene aun esos toques medievales y vale la pena visitarla, al frente esta el cementerio. 🏰🏫
Cemetery where those honored from the great war rest🧭🏰 / Cementerio donde descansan los honrados de la gran guerra🌍🚩
Portugal was neutral in the Second World War like Spain, but the same did not happen in the first, and villages like Evoramonte were places where family men left their homes to be able to fight alongside the allies! Tens of thousands of Portuguese lives were lost to the point that many of these villages were left without men and instead only boys, girls and women were seen so it took a long time to repopulate, the cemetery is something you have to visit to see graves of people from the 18th century and even the tomb of those who fell in the war. MY RESPECTS.🚩🦾
Portugal fue neutral en la segunda guerra mundial al igual que espana pero no sucedio lo mismo en la primera, y aldeas como Evoramonte fueron locales donde hombres de familia dejaron sus casas para poder combatir junto con los aliados! se perdieron descenas de miles de vidas Portuguesas hasta el punto que muchas de estas aldeas se quedaron sin hombres y en cambio solo se veian ninos, ninas y mujeres asi que tardo mucho en repoblarse, el cementerio es algo que tienes que visitar para ver tumbas de personas del siglo XVIII e inclusive la tumba de los caidos en la guerra. MIS RESPETOS.🏫⛲
Between the streets of the town🧭🏰 / Entre las calles de la villa 🌍🚩
The change in architecture between areas is impressive, sometimes we have the feeling that we are traveling in the time of the Moors and other times in the medieval era, do you remember my last post on the medieval village where I stayed in "brotas"? Well, I remember that there they still had medieval doors in some houses, but here it is different, they all have their original doors of course restored, in fact I have the impression that this has been the most original town I have visited so far.🚩🏰
El cambio de arquitectura entre zonas es impresionante, alguna veces tenemos la sensacion que estamos viajando en la epoca de los Moros y otras veces en la era medieval, recuerdas mi post pasado en la aldea medieval donde me quede en "brotas"? bueno recuerdo que alla aun conservaban puertas medievales en algunas casas, pero aqui es diferente todas tienen sus puertas originales por supuesto restauradas, en realidad tengo la impresion que esta a sido la villa mas original que visite hasta ahora.🌎🗺️
Monte evora swing🧭🏰 / Columpio Monte evora🌍🚩
The swing is a must-see on our tour because they are fashionable throughout Portugal as they are symbols of beauty and height, literally swings are being built in the highest areas to boost tourism and decorate the landscape, it says the following: " "Evoramonte a mountain of emotions." It is worth it for the landscape and the breeze here is pleasant, inside the town there is only a breeze in the castle, the rest is cut off by the wall.🌎🏰🚩
El columpio es una visita obligada en nuestro recorrido porque estan de moda en toda Portugal ya que son simbolos de belleza y altura, literal se anda construyendo columpios en las zonas mas altas para impulsar el turismo y decorar el paisaje, este dice lo siguiente: "Evoramonte una montana de emociones". Vale la pena por el paisaje y la brisa aqui es agradable, dentro de la villa solo hay brisa en el castillo de resto es cortada por la muralla.🌳🌍
The peace treaty was signed here🧭🏰 / Aqui se firmo el tratado de paz🌍🚩
A war called "War of the Liberals" occurred, let's say it was an internal conflict between royalty where two brothers, heirs to the crown, who belonged to different political parties, confronted each other. The end of that war took place in this house where that one is. white sign and signed in the Castle.🚩🏰
Ocurrio una guerra llamada "Guerra dos liberales" digamos que fue un conflicto interno entre la realeza donde se confrontaron dos hermanos herederos de la corona la cual pertenecian a partidos politicos diferentes, el final de esa guerra se llevo a cabo en esta casa donde esta ese letrero blanco y se firmo en el Castillo.🫅🏻🤴🏻
I do not want to repeat the information in the video, if you want to know the history of the Castle, I explained it in the video, to summarize we are seeing a fortress that belonged to the Moors in the 11th, 12th century and that later in the reconquest wars was recovered exactly in 1248, that Arabic legacy is still present in much of the architecture of our country. You do not need permission to fly the drone here but be careful.👸🏻🫅🏻🌎
No quiero repetir la informacion del video si quieres saber la historia del Castillo la explique en el video, para resumir estamos viendo una fortaleza que pertenecio a los Moros en el siglo XI, XII y que luego en las guerras de las reconquistas fue recuperado exactamente en el 1248, ese legado arabico aun esta presente en mucha arquitectura de nuestro pais. 🏰🚩
