André MatosEmbark on a journey along the banks of the Alqueva lake to Juromenha, a small border village where history is felt everywhere, in the walls, in the silent streets and in the life that remains there. With the open landscape of the Serra d’Ossa mountain range on one side and Spain on the other, discover a territory shaped by centuries of encounters, conflicts and cultural exchanges.
Accompanied by a local historian, you will explore the Juromenha Fortress and uncover Roman remains, Islamic heritage and episodes from the Restoration War. Walking through the village and its fortifications, you will gain insight into its strategic role along the border and the different civilizations that have left their mark on this landscape over time.
