Summary

Description

A pequena igreja hoje existente no interior das muralhas do castelo de Monsanto é o resultado da reconstrução de um templo anterior, edificado pela Ordem dos Templários, a quem estas terras de fronteira tinham sido doadas.

Em 3 de Maio, é palco da Festa de Santa Cruz, realizada em memória de um dos muitos cercos a que o castelo resistiu: as mulheres levam ao castelo as suas bonecas de trapos (marafonas) e lançam das muralhas cântaros cheios de flores.

A lenda (reivindicada em vários locais da bacia mediterrânica, com pequenas variações, consta de um dos romances de Umberto Eco) diz que o povo de Monsanto fez rolar pela encosta uma vitela recheada de trigo, desmoralizando as tropas sitiantes, que levantaram o cerco, convencidas de que a abundância de víveres no interior da fortaleza jogava contra elas. <a href="http://viajar.clix.pt/tesouro.php?id=529&lg=pt&w=monsanto_igreja_de_santa_maria_do_castelo" rel="nofollow">viajar.clix.pt/tesouro.php?id=529&lg=pt&w=monsant...</a>
