Summary edit

Description

No meio do Rio Tejo, o enigmático Castelo de Almourol é um dos monumentos mais emblemáticos da Reconquista Cristã.

Situado numa ilhota a meio do Rio Tejo, o Castelo de Almourol é um dos monumentos mais emblemáticos que se podem encontrar em Portugal, pelo seu significado e pela paisagem envolvente.

A sua história relembra a Reconquista do território durante a Idade Média. Quando aqui chegaram os cristãos em 1129, o castelo já existia sob o nome de Almorolan, tendo sido então incluído nas terras entregues à guarda dos Templários, sob as ordens de Gualdim Pais. Segundo uma inscrição existente na entrada, as obras de reconstrução datam de 1171.

Juntamente com os castelos de Tomar, do Zêzere e da Cardiga formava a linha defensiva do Rio Tejo.

Depois de extinta a Ordem dos Templários e terminada a necessidade de defesa do território, acabou por cair no esquecimento, sendo recuperado pelo espírito Romântico do séc. XIX que orientou o seu restauro e lhe deu o aspecto que vemos actualmente. <a href="https://www.visitportugal.com/pt-pt/content/castelo-de-almourol" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.visitportugal.com/pt-pt/content/castelo-de-almourol</a>
