Silves Cathedral, Silves, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
Silves Cathedral in the city of Silves, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal, Built as a mosque during moorish rule of Iberia later converted into cathedral after reconquista. It is considered the main Gothic monument in the Algarve. Since 29 June 1922, it is on the register of National monuments of Portugal. The details about the foundation and building of Silves Cathedral are unclear. In the process of the Reconquista, Moorish Silves was conquered in 1189 by King Sancho I of Portugal, but since the city was retaken by the Moors in 1191, it is unlikely that a cathedral was built at this time. Only in 1242 was Silves definitely reconquered by Christian knights during the reign of King Afonso III, and it is believed that this king was responsible for beginning the construction of Silves Cathedral as the seat of a newly founded Algarve diocese. The works proceeded with difficulty, and in 1352 the cathedral was damaged by a strong earthquake. In the 1440s, the cathedral workshop was given a great impulse by King Afonso V. This building campaign produced the apse with its three chapels, the transept and the main portal, in Gothic style, dating from the 1470s. The three-aisled nave was only finished in the early 16th century. When King John II died unexpectedly in Alvor (Portimão), near Silves, in 1495, he was provisionally buried in the main chapel of Silves Cathedral. In 1499, in the presence of King Manuel I, his remains were exhumed and transferred to the Monastery of Batalha, where John II was permanently re-buried; however, his tomb slab with a Gothic inscription is still located on the floor of the main chapel of Silves Cathedral. Many important personalities of Silves were buried in the cathedral during the 15th and 16th centuries, as attested by the many tomb slabs on its floor. Economic difficulties and a diminishing population plagued the history of Silves in the 15th and 16th centuries, leading to the bishop staying for long periods away from Silves. The most notable of the bishops at this time was Jerónimo Osório, one of the greatest Portuguese humanists and theologians. It was during his rule, in 1577, that the bishopric seat was transferred from Silves to Faro, a more prosperous city located by the coast. In the next centuries the interior of the church was enriched with Mannerist and Baroque altarpieces, some of which still exist. The Great Earthquake of 1755 struck a terrible blow for Silves and its cathedral and destroyed part of the nave. The building was repaired and modified, replacing the simple Gothic forms of the upper part of the main façade with Rococo volutes. The bell tower and the south portal are also 18th-century additions. In the 20th century, an extensive renovation of Silves Cathedral suppressed many of the Baroque additions and returned the building to a more mediaeval look. From the outside, a striking aspect of Silves Cathedral is the contrast between the whitewashed surfaces of the walls and the red sandstone (grés de Silves) of the apse, windows and main portal. The main portal, executed in the 1470s, is inserted on a stepped rectangular moulding (alfiz), a common feature on the façades of Portuguese mediaeval buildings since the Romanesque era. Other primitive features of the portal are the figurative corbels of the upper cornice of the moulding, representing animal and human faces. The portal consists of a series of four columns and several pointed-arch archivolts. The outer archivolt is decorated with a series of reliefs of vegetal motifs and human figures, some playing musical instruments. The decoration of the capitals of the columns reveals the influence of the Batalha workshop, which was active in the 15th century. Interestingly, the portal of the main church of Portimão, located nearby, is almost a replica of the one in Silves and is believed to have been executed by the same artisans. The South portal is a Baroque addition (18th century). Silves Cathedral is a Latin cross church with a three-aisled nave, transept and three chapels in the east end. The east side of the church with transept was built earlier (mid-15th century) than the nave (probably early 16th century). The eastern chapels and transept are covered by Gothic stone rib vaulting, while the nave aisles are covered by a simple wooden roof. It is likely that the original plan called for the whole church to be covered by stone vaulting like other Portuguese cathedrals built at the time, like the Cathedral of Guarda. The aisles of the nave are separated by arches of pointed profile supported by columns of octagonal cross section. The south transept arm is illuminated by a large mullioned window with Gothic tracery.

SUBIDA IMPOSSÍVEL - 2016 (HD) official video
SUBIDA IMPOSSÍVEL - 2016 (HD) official video realizado em silves dia 13 e 14 de novembro 2016 , atrai muitos de Portugal inteiro para ver esta subida incrivelmente perigosa e quase impossível para verem pessoal a fazer motocross e tentar subir a montanha com muita inclinação, proximo anos haverá mais.
Temos de agradecer a moto club de Albufeira para o evento anual e a ajuda de todas as autoridades que permitem isto acontecer.
Video feito por Sebastien Kock algumas partes retiradas de outros videos que circulam livremente no youtube mas em maioria e original.
nao ha video de drone porque em 2014 foi pedido que so o moto club de Albufeira pode ter as filmagens exclusivas que e ridículo mas não necessito isso para fazer videos mais fixes que eles.
Espero que gostem e que partilhem ai com o pessoal motard.

Driving To The Algarve, How Much Does It Cost From Central Portugal?
ℹ️ We are off on our Road Trip to the Algarve today and we share how much it costs to drive from our house in Central Portugal to the Algarve. We track the price of Diesel (Gasoleo) and Toll Charges on the highways and calculate the cost. We've stocked up on snacks & toys for Story to keep her busy on the 5 hour journey,
But it turns out to be a little too long for Story & we realize travel with a toddler isn't always going to be easy!
We are very excited to go and spend the next week in Vilamoura bonding with family in the sun :-)
Enjoy the vlog everyone.
