Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll present today's edition of Travel Digest. In our featured posts, we have a fort in Portugal, a church in Italy, and a cemetery in Romania. Enjoy and keep on pinning your travel posts to the map!
The Forte da Gra莽a in Elvas is a place that charms you as soon as you arrive. Even before I entered, I was captivated by the surrounding landscape. The green hills stretch out on all sides, creating a breathtaking view that seems to have no end. The deep blue sky completed the scene, making the moment even more special. The feeling of peace and tranquility I felt when looking at that view was simply unforgettable.

The beginnings of the church start in the 12th century when it was under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Grado but which began gaining more attention after the rebuilt from 1422, pretty soon after that also being merged with a different building that had more power to show the way. Sadly, four centuries later Chiesa di San Silvestro confronted with a partial collapse that even if it didn't bring the end to this, it was entirely taken down and rebuilt almost 20 years later by a local architect, Giovanni Meduna.

Yes, in Sighetul Marmatiei in Romania there is such a place, maybe such a place will not be included on the short list of sights to visit for some of you, but for me it is a special place where from time to time the descendants of those buried here come and mourn their dead. The Cemetery of the Poor is part of a very important memorial also here in Sighetul Marmatiei, the Memorial to the Victims of Communism and Resistance.
