Location City -  ALMOUROL
State -  SANTARÉM
Country - Portugal   Portugal
About This fortress is located around Tomar, the old Templiers city. It is built on an island of Tage the 310 meters length, 75 meters broad and 18 meters at the highest point. Fortress Moor, the castle of Almourol was taken again at the time of the Portuguese reconquista under the reign of Alphonse 1st. In 1171, the castle was entrusted to the temple which decided to rebuild it to make of it a watchtower of the kingdom of Portugal. Besieged in 1190 by the Moors, it resisted. Thereafter, its role of border post disappeared because of advanced from the catholic armies. It was never taken.

The castle is accessible by boat because it is truly an island: there are frontier runners which with the help of a moderate entrance fee enables you to reach it. The sight of in top is exceptional. Since you are in the area, do not forget either to pass by Tomar whose Templiers site with its castle and its cloisters is classified world inheritance of humanity.

Não te preocupes com isso, Zé! Foi uma questão meramente tecnicista... Mas nem sempre a técnica se alia à alma!
Pega noutro abraço. O outro já entreguei nas mãos do Felisberto.

Olha meu Patrício, não sei dizer nada acerca destes teus trabalhos... fico pra aqui a olhar a tentar descobrir-te, a tentar perceber que olhos e alma é essa a tua...
Perco-me completamente...
Bom que está uma maravilha ( redundancia mas sei que me perdoas ) ninguém duvida, que eu adoro a silhueta e as tonalidades da água tb é uma certeza, que eu te considero o melhor fotógrafo do Mundo e arredores, lá disso podes estar certo.
E como te sei profundamente conhecedor do ser humano, diz-me lá companheiro, será que há muitas Megans por aí? :)
Um abraço muito forte do Zé.

O título é muito apropriado e a foto maravilhosa (como sempre). A narrativa é incrível. Quando você diz "Templiers", você se refere a ordem dos Cavalheiros Templários ou eu não entendi direito? Grande abraço! (perdoe se o aborreço com perguntas).

Best regards Jorg
