Nicknamed the ‘White Egret Castle’ for its spectacular white exterior and striking shape emerging from the plain. Himeji is a hill castle, that takes advantage of the surrounding geography to enhance its defensive qualities. There are three moats to obstruct the enemy and 15m sloping stone walls make approaching the base of the castle very difficult. Formal elements Viewed externally, there is a five-storey main tenshu (keep) and three smaller keeps, all surrounded by moats and defensive walls. These walls are punctuated with rectangular openings (‘sama’) for firing arrows and circular and triangular openings for guns. These ‘sama’ are at different heights to allow for the warrior to be standing, kneeling or lying down. The main keep’s walls also feature narrow openings that allowed defenders to pour boiling water or oil on to anyone trying to scale the walls.

  • Principais Recursos Minerais Dos Concelhos De Chaves, Montalegre E Boticas
    CAPÍTULO 3 PRINCIPAIS RECURSOS MINERAIS DOS CONCELHOS DE CHAVES, MONTALEGRE E BOTICAS João Manuel Farinha Ramos* * LNEG (S. Mamede de Infesta) MINERAÇÃO E POVOAMENTO NA ANTIGUIDADE NO ALTO TRÁS-OS-MONTES OCIDENTAL 1. Introdução Na área correspondente aos Concelhos de Chaves, Montalegre e Boticas afloram diversos tipos de granitóides que intruem formações metassedimentares de idade silúrica, e alguns depósitos de rochas sedimentares eluvio-aluviais de idade plistocénica e holocé- nica. Estes tipos de rochas e a tectónica que as afecta explicam as numerosas ocorrências mineiras que, desde tempos imemoriais, vêm sendo exploradas pelos povos que por aqui passaram e se estabeleceram. Trata-se, de facto, de uma área onde abundam recursos mine- rais (metálicos e não metálicos), geotérmicos e hidrominerais (W, Sn, Mo, Li, Nb, Ta, Au, Ag, quartzo, feldspato, argilas, areias, granitos industriais e ornamentais, águas minerais naturais, etc. – Figura 1), que não passaram despercebidos aos povos, mesmo aos mais pri- mitivos, que aprenderam a utilizá-los. A pesquisa de alguns destes recursos deve ter come- çado ao longo dos rios e linhas de água mais importantes onde procuravam água, peixe, seixos, e onde descobriram pepitas de ouro, grãos de estanho, etc. A tradição da explora- ção foi passando de geração em geração até aos tempos actuais, constituindo uma fonte de meios não desprezível para aquelas gentes rijas que habitavam territórios serranos de solos pobres e clima agreste. Uma descrição dos recursos minerais nesta região implica o seu agrupamento em tipologias fundamentadas na forma do jazigo, na mineralogia, no contexto geológico, e na sua génese. Em primeiro lugar, com base numa classificação utilitária, consideram-se os seguin- tes grandes grupos: I – Minérios metálicos (minerais e rochas donde é possível extrair os metais com lucro); II – Minérios energéticos (minerais e rochas que podem fornecer economica- mente energia); III – Minérios não metálicos (minerais e rochas que têm aplicação na Indústria); IV – Recursos hidrominerais.

Palavras ‑chave: Alto Minho, Sol Invictus / Mithra, heliolatria. ABSTRACT: Information about the finding, descriptive analysis and epigraphic study of two roman altars, unpublished, from the parish of Sá, Arcos de Valdevez, in Alto Minho, one anepigraphic and another with a votive inscription dedicated to Sol Invictus or Mithra, interpretable as a reference to the indigenous tradition of the hill – forts communities, whose importance falls within the introduction of Eastern cults in the peninsular northwestern under the Romans. Keywords: Alto Minho, Sol Invictus / Mithra, heliolatry. O particular interesse pela Arqueologia e pela História do concelho de Arcos de Valdevez, distrito de Viana do Castelo, tem feito chegar ao conhecimento de um dos signatários deste texto informações que, depois de exploradas, com frequência se revelam de certa relevância, de algumas delas publicando o seu estudo (Ferreira 1985 ­‑1986, 1987, 2012, 2015).

  • 2. Caracterização Arquitetónica
    Revitalização do Castelo de Almourol ______________________________________________________________________________ 2. CARACTERIZAÇÃO ARQUITETÓNICA 2.1. O Castelo de Almourol – construção, restauros e funções. Quando os templários estavam a concluir a construção do castelo de Tomar, decorria o ano de 1169, receberam a doação dos castelos de Cardiga e de Zêzere. Foi na fronteira sul destes novos domínios, no âmbito territorial do castelo do Zêzere, que os templários decidiram erguer o Castelo de Almourol. A ordem militar ficava, assim, na posse de um vastíssimo domínio, com uma implantação estratégica notável, que lhes permitia controlar os caminhos que se dirigiam de Leste para Santarém acompanhando a margem norte do Rio Tejo, uma vasta área do vale do Tejo e também a via que atravessava o Rio Tejo em Punhete, atual Constância, e se dirigia até Coimbra. Era, na época, uma das estradas medievais mais trilhadas. Todas estas circunstâncias davam sentido à localização e construção da nova estrutura militar. Figura 1. Vista do Castelo de Almourol. 7 Revitalização do Castelo de Almourol ______________________________________________________________________________ O castelo de Almourol terá sido erguido no local de um primitivo castro lusitano conquistado pelos romanos no séc. I a.C. e remodelado segundo a técnica castrense ocupado sucessivamente pelos Alanos, Visigodos e Mouros. Em escavações efetuadas no interior e exterior do castelo foram encontrados vários vestígios da presença romana (moedas, uma inscrição num cipo, e restos de alicerces em opus romano) e do período medieval (medalhas, 2 colunelos de mármore). A bibliografia consultada aponta para construções anteriores ao castelo de Almourol durante o século II a.C.

During this period, there is a striking dynamism in the defi- Rnition of original plans, new building solutions and in the first architectural sculpture ex- periments, especially in the regions of Burgundy, Poitou, Auvergne (France) and Catalonia (Spain). However, it is between 1060 and 1080 that Romanesque architecture consolidates its main techni- cal and formal innovations. According to Barral i Altet, the plans of the Romanesque churches, despite their diversity, are well defined around 1100; simultaneously, sculpture invades the building, covering the capitals and decorating façades and cloisters. The Romanesque has been regarded as the first European style. While it is certain that Romanesque architecture and arts are a common phenomenon to the European kingdoms of that period, the truth is that one of its main stylistic characteristics is exactly its regional diversity.
