Aljezur - SightSeeing


Aljezur : At the top of the hill, the castle ramparts, symbol of the long struggle between Christians and Moors. A cascade of white houses that almost tumble down the hillside towards the river.
Castle : Constructed on a hill overlooking the a natural stream of water smaller than a river that has been inhabited by man since the Iron Age, the castle served to control the river port that provided a link with the sea and to defend the population from enemy attack. Built during the period of Arab rule (10th century) it consists of a broad area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings surrounded by high ramparts reinforced by two towers, one round and the other square. It was badly damaged by the earthquake of 1755. Inside there is a cube shaped cistern covered by a vault. Its walls afford panoramic vies of the surrounding countryside.

Misericordia (Mercy) Church : this church was reconstructed in the 16th century and then again after the earthquake of 1755. It has recently undergone extensive restoration work inside and outside. It has a plain interior with interesting flags and a fraternity table.

Its interior is composed of three naves, with an imposing main altar. It boasts a fine statue of Nossa Senhora da Alva (Our Lady of Daybreak) (18th century) flanked by two 17th century statues, probably taken from the former main church, which was destroyed in 1755.
