Olá meus caros amigos e leitores deste blog, hoje vamos fazer uma viagem pela história de Portugal e pelo mais belo dos seus castelos. A sua história remonta a muitos séculos atrás. Começou por ser uma simples fortificação, evoluiu ao longo do tempo para o impressionante conjunto de edifícios que hoje vos irei mostrar.
Hello my dear friends and readers of this blog, today we're going on a journey through the history of Portugal and its most beautiful castles. Its history goes back many centuries. Starting out as a simple fortification, it has evolved over time into the impressive set of buildings I'm going to show you today.
Apresento-vos o Santo Condestável - D. Nuno Álvares Pereira - nasceu em 1360 e foi um dos mais ilustres militares da história portuguesa. Comandou as tropas portuguesas em diversas batalhas e numa série de conflitos que culminaram com a independência de Portugal face a Espanha. A mais famosa batalha foi a de Aljubarrota, onde com um exército significativamente menor, conseguiu derrotar os espanhóis, só mesmo por milagre conseguimos esta vitória... mas com a inteligência deste estratega militar e ao mesmo tempo homem religioso, o que nos parece um paradoxo aos olhos de hoje!
Meet the Holy Constable - D. Nuno Álvares Pereira - born in 1360, he was one of the most illustrious soldiers in Portuguese history. He commanded Portuguese troops in several battles and in a series of conflicts that culminated in Portugal's independence from Spain. The most famous battle was that of Aljubarrota, where he managed to defeat the Spanish with a significantly smaller army. Only by a miracle did we achieve this victory... but with the intelligence of this military strategist and at the same time religious man, which seems a paradox to us today!
Hoje, o Castelo de Ourém é um lugar turístico, o castelo oferece uma viagem no tempo. Ao explorá-lo, os visitantes podem reflectir sobre os milagres de D. Nuno e a sua habilidade em vencer batalhas aparentemente impossíveis. Resumindo, o Castelo de Ourém não é apenas um dos mais belos castelos de Portugal, mas um símbolo duradouro da resiliência e coragem dos portugueses ao longo dos séculos.
Today, Ourém Castle is a tourist site, offering a trip back in time. By exploring the castle, visitors can reflect on the miracles of D. Nuno and his ability to win seemingly impossible battles. In short, Ourém Castle is not only one of the most beautiful castles in Portugal, but an enduring symbol of Portuguese resilience and courage over the centuries.

Como diz a Kelly Clarkson na música "Stronger", o que não nos mata, torna-nos mais fortes e lutadores! Acho que está tudo dito por hoje!
As Kelly Clarkson says in her song "Stronger", what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and a fighter! I think that's all said for today!

EliminarUau, um belo lugar com uma história incrível! Não conhecia este personagem de Portugal. Já o look está perfeito, adorei este vestido leve! Um abraço!
ResponderEliminarSim, um santo, não por ter feito a guerra, mas mais tarde na sua vida tornou-se frei. No séc. passado foi canonizado por ter feito vários milagres ligados a curas de doenças! Beijos!

Thanks for stopping by!
EliminarI don't see any paradox in a religious man being a military strategist. Historically, many strategists were religious men. This was a very interesting article to read. I love history.
ResponderEliminarBeautiful dress and castle as well. You look like a princess!
A religious man always wants peace, otherwise he is not a religious man, full stop. Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it!
