Monsanto | Portugal
Monsanto fica no distrito de Castelo Branco, e foi declarada a mais portuguesa de Portugal em 1938. Por essa razão, foi concedido um galo de prata que coroa a sua torre de Lucano (Torre do Relógio). Uma aldeia com um encanto único, cujas casas estão encaixadas entre os grandes rochedos de granito que compoem este monte.

Evora - Portugal Travel Channel
Evora, located in the heart of Portugal - the Alentejo region - was already inhabited in the Neolithic period. Evora was extended during the colonization of Portugal by the Romans. A huge viaduct, the castle and the beautiful Diana Temple are surviving memorials of this period. Later the Moors enlarged the castle and built a mosque.
Geraldo Geraldes the Fearless (Geraldo Sem Pavor) conquered Evora for King Afonso Henriques. The Moors were finally expelled with the support of the order of knights of the Avis. In 1166, the Avis made Évora their initial seat and named the order of knights Évora. A still largely preserved wall had been built to protect the town. Since the 12th century Portugal's kings were crowned in Évora. The town blossomed out to a centre of the humanism. In 1973 the University - founded in 1559 - was reopened after being closed in 1759. Évora had lost influence after the affiliation to Spain.
Other attractions include the Sé Cathedral, Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval and the Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos).
Since 1986 Évora belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Évora, im Herzen Portugals in der Region Alentejo gelegen, war bereits im Neolithikum besiedelt. Als die Römer das Land besiedelten, bauten sie in Evora aus. Ein riesiges Viadukt, die Burg und der prächtige Diana -- Tempel sind aus jener Zeit noch erhalten. Später erweiterten die Mauren die Burg und bauten eine Moschee.
Geraldo Geraldes, o Sem Pavor (= Gerald ohne Furcht) eroberte Évora für König Afonso Henriques. Endgültig vertrieben wurden die Mauren mit der Unterstützung des Ritterordens von Avis. Dieser macht Évora 1166 zu seinem anfänglichen Sitz und nennt sich auch Ritterorden Évora. Zur Befestigung der Stadt wird eine, noch weitestgehend erhaltene, Mauer gebaut. Seit dem 12. Jahrhundert ließen sich Portugals Könige in Évora, das zu einem Zentrum des Humanismus aufblühte, krönen. 1973 wird die 1559 gegründete Universität wieder eröffnet, nachdem sie 1759 geschlossen wurde. Évora hatte nach der Angliederung an Spanien an Einfluss verloren.
Weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind die Kathedrale Sé, der ehemalige Königssitz Paço dos Condes de Basto und das Beinhaus Capela dos Ossos.
Seit 1986 zählt Évora zum Weltkulturerbe der UNECO.

Lamego cidade Histórica do Douro - Portugal
Cidade antiquíssima, datando já do tempo dos romanos, foi reconquistada definitivamente em 1057 por Fernando Magno de Leão aos mouros; quando os distritos foram instituídos em 1835 por uma reforma de Mouzinho da Silveira, Lamego foi inicialmente prevista como sede de distrito; mas nesse mesmo ano a sede do mesmo foi deslocada para Viseu, devido à sua posição mais central.
Foi em Lamego que teriam decorrido as lendárias Cortes de Lamego, onde teria sido feita a aclamação de D. Afonso Henriques como Rei de Portugal e se estabeleceram as Regras de Sucessão ao Trono.
É sede da diocese de Lamego (a única diocese portuguesa que não corresponde a uma capital de distrito), e no concelho são numerosos os monumentos religiosos, dos quais se destacam a Sé Catedral, a Igreja de São Pedro de Balsemão e o Santuário da Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, que dá também o nome a Romaria anual cujo dia principal é o 8 de Setembro, que é também o feriado municipal.
Conhecida também pela sua gastronomia, nas qual se destacam os seus presuntos, o cabrito assado com arroz de forno e pela produção de vinhos, nomeadamente vinho do Porto, de cuja Região Demarcada faz parte, e pelos vinhos espumantes.
Destination: Alentejo (Portugal)
The Alentejo is an extensive area that covers about a third of Portugal. To the north it is bordered by the Tejo River and to the south by the mountains of the Algarve. To the east shares the border with Spain and to the west it opens on the Atlantic Ocean.
Essentially rural and sparsely populated, it offers a flat, well-maintained landscape. Its beauty and the abundance and quality of its monuments, architecture and gastronomy make the Alentejo a perfect place for a tourist destination.
The Alentejo landscape invites you to choose the secondary roads instead of the highways, as they are the best way to appreciate the plain, its endless cork oaks, its vineyards, fields and olive groves. They also allow contact with their people, hospitable by nature.
