Romans & Ruins 🏛️ Join us on this tour to discover some of the region’s renowned Roman sites, including a religious space (the Roman Temple of Évora) 🏛️, a villa (Torre de Palma) 🌱, and a town (Ammaia) 🧱. The Romans made their way to Portugal during the Second Punic War, in the 3rd century BC. The colonization of the present-day Alentejo brought about the construction of several urban centres: Beja, once known as Pax Iulia, Évora as Ebora Liberalitas Iulia, and Ammaia as Civitas Ammaiensis. ⚔️ In addition to these urban centres, Roman colonists and those indigenous to the region lived in other settings, such as small rural settlements or extensive Roman villas. 🌱 Available for booking on our website! 📆 And soon to be available for booking on Viator & TripAdvisor. #visitalentejo #visitevora #visitportugal #archaeologytours #evoratours #amar_alentejo #travelgram #turismoportugal #tourismportugal #iberianheritagetours #archaeologytours #alentejo #romanportugal

Village & Castle of Marvão 🏰 Join us on this tour to experience the enchantment of the medieval village and castle of Marvão. 🌸 The construction of Marvão’s castle is attributed to muwallad Ibn Marwan in the 9th century. In the 12th century, Christian forces loyal to Afonso I, the first king of Portugal, conquered the town and its surrounding region. By the 13th century, the town was already considered to be part of Portugal – its location particularly important due to its close proximity to the Spanish border and defensive location. 🌄 Repairs began on the castle in the 1930s and continued on throughout the 1960s. ⛏️ Other repairs and improvements have continued since the 1990s. Today, Marvão provides the visitor an opportunity to visit the castle and its walls, its two encircled courtyards, its various towers, a well-preserved cistern for water storage, gardens, and a medieval town. ⛲️ Now available for booking! 📆 Link in bio. #visitalentejo #visitevora #visitportugal #archaeologytours #evoratours #amar_alentejo #travelgram #turismoportugal #tourismportugal #iberianheritagetours #archaeologytours #alentejo #medievalcastle #medievalportugal
