ReplyDeleteMoura, the Legend of Salúquia. If the legend is to be believed, the town of Moura acquired its name - vila de Moura - and the design on its coat of arms - a young girl dead at the foot of a tower - from the fate of Salúquia, the daughter of a local Moorish lord. Salúquia waited in vain on her wedding morning for her fiancé, a lord from a neighbouring castle. He had been ambushed and slain with all his escort by Christian Knights who then stripped the dead of their clothes and dressed themselves in them. They thus entered and seized the castle - Salúquia, in dispair, hurled herself to death from the top of the tower..

Moura. Situada junto à confluência da ribeira de Brenhas com o rio da Roda, perto dos rios Ardila e Guadiana, a antiga vila de Moura foi elevada a cidade em 1988. Da fortificacao islâmica resta um torreao de taipa da época almóada. A muralha foi reconstruída no final do século XIII e novamente reforcada por Francisco de Arruda durante o reinado de D. Manuel I. Durante a Guerra da Restauracao, em 1660, foram edificados os quartéis e uma nova cintura abaluartada, parcialmente destruída em 1707 durante uma incursao do duque de Osuna, por ocasao da Guerra da Sucessao espanhola. Na vila existe ainda um museu dedicada ao azeite, instalado num antigo lagar. A cerca de 3 km na estrada para Barrancos pode ver-se a Atalaia Magra, torre de vigia com excelente vista sobre a campina e a cidade.
