Photographer’s Note

Hi dear TE friends
NOTE: I do not understand why the quality of the photos posted in the TE, are different in "beta" and the new site. In my opinion in "beta" pictures are better quality.The differences are more visible in Mozilla Firefox!Why?
Compare for yourself!


Place : Evoramonte

Theme: (Trip) Portugal,on North of Alentejo (II)
To see: map view

The city was conquered from the Arabs in 1160. At its highest point stands Évoramonte Castle, built in the 14th century on the ruins of a Moorish predecessor and rebuilt after an earthquake in 1531. The building is encircled by ropes which form knots in the centre of the facade.

The Paço (Palace) of Evoramonte, that is in the middle of the castle walls,may have an odd aspect, but to see an even stranger look from the air, please click, zoom in and see the location in WikiMapia: 38.7718312, -7.7160341

Is a lovely village situated in the Estremoz department, in the vast Alentejo region, inside defensive walls, in a very peaceful area. The region presents vestiges of ancient human occupation since the Paleolithic Period (30 000 to 10 000 b.C.).

I hope you like it, a big hug to all of you TE friends
