    Serpa, a market town in the Lower Alentejo east of the Guadiana River, crowning a hilltop overlooking vast plains
    of wheat fields interspersed with rows of olive trees. The town has kept its ramparts which partially surmount an Aqueduct. The approach from Beja is impressive. Parque Campismo Serpa, 00351 284 544 290, Restaurante A Piscina, Pilgrims-menu Eu.8 with Credencial, 00351 969 193 353.

    Serpa,the fortified gate, the Porta de Beja, leads through the ramparts into the white-washed town, which invites for
    a pleasant stroll. The main square, the Largo dos Santos Próculo e Hilariâo, with its olive and cypress trees, is dominated by the facade of the Igreja de Santa Maria. A street on the right leads to the castle. The entrance looks like a romantic 19th Century engraving with its crumbling tower which now forms a porch. There is a good view of the town from the sentry path. Museu Etnográfico, Largo do Corro. The displays in this small, well-presented museum illustrate the traditions and crafts of the region. Do not forget to try Cheese from Serpa, "Queijo de Serpa". Residencial Beatriz, Pilgrims-rates, Largo do Salvador, 10. 00351 284 544 423.

    "Serpa-la-Blanche". Quelle fierté, quel orgueil presque à organiser un concours annuel de la rue la plus blanche. À tel point que les murs semblent avoir disparu sous les couches de chaux, murs aux reflets moelleux comme une croûte de brie. C´est sûrement pour les protéger que le roi Dom Dinis les a ceints d´une muraille au XIIIe siècle. L'aquaduc même a été ajoité au XVIIe siècle pour unir de ses arches l'ondoiement des collines d'oliviers à la rectitude épaisse des murs de la cité. Déambuler dans ses ruelles pavées, à la recherche des citronniers et des orangers capables de désaltérer l'assoiffé de passage, fait partie de son charme. Comme une dégustatation improvisée du fameux fromage de Serpa et des "queijadas", ces gâteaux au fromage frais qui sont un vrai délice.
    Serpa est en limite de l'Alentejo, pour qu'on n'y vienne pas en passant. Elle ne vaut peut-être même pas le détour. Seul le hasard mériterait d'y conduirele voyageur.

    Driving in to Serpa, about 30 km east of Beja, is - as with so many small Alentejo towns - like driving into a time warp. The castle and fortified walls were built at the command of King Dinis. A difference here from other 13th-Century walls is that these have an aquaduct built into them.
    A well-preserved gateaway is the Portas de Beja, which, along with the rest of the walls, were almost sold by the town council in the latter half of the 19th
    Century. Cooler heads prevailed and the walls were saved, though a great part of them had been destroyed in 1707 when the Duke of Osuna and his army occupied the town during the War of the Spanish Succession.
    There are several churches worth seeing (notably the 13th-Century Santa Maria Church), as well as the delightfully cool and elegant palace belonging to the Counts of Ficalho, the Paco dos Condes de Ficalho. It was built in the 16th Century and has a majestic staircase and lovely tiles. The present Marquise, incidentally , is the granddaughter of José Maria Eca de Queiroz (1845 - 1900), one of Portugal's great 19th-Century novelists.
    The Rio Guadiana is considered the most peaceful of Portugal's rivers (the others being the Tagus and Douro), but an exception is at Pulo do Lobo (Wolf's Leap) between Serpa and Mértola. This is a stretch of high and wild rapids, which can be reached by road and is worth a visit if you are in the area - you will probably find you are the only tourist there.

    Serpa, die Natur und das architektonische Erbe des weißen, typisch Alentejanische Städchens, sind einzigartig und für den Besucher ebenso unerwartet wie die exzellente lokale Küche.
    Im Jahr 1281, als die Ländereien am linken Guadianaufer ausnahmslos im Besitz von Kastilien waren, erteilte Afonso X. dem Ort in Sevilla die Gründungsprivilegien.
    Damit sollten die Grenzen des Landkreises festgelegt und Bevölkerung angesiedelt werden.
    Nach einer neuerlichen Verleihung unter König Dinis im Jahr 1295 erhielt der Ort schließlich 1513 zum dritten Mal Stadtrechte aus der Hand von König Manuel.
    Bis zu seiner Krönung war dieser Herr von Serpa, eine der bedeutendsten Städte der Alentejo und im Königreich Portugal.
    Burg, Stadtmauer und Aquäduct in Serpa.
    Die mittelalterliche Burg thront vermutlich bereits seit Maurischer Zeit, beschützend über der Stadt.
    Die urspüngliche, auf einer kleinen Anhöhe gelegene
    Festungsmauer umfasste eine Fläche von 21.000 Quadratmetern.
    Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts wurden Ort und Burg unter König Dinis von Grund auf erneuert und ein imposanter Mauerring errichtet, der eine Fläche von 65.000 Quadratmetern umschloß und heute zum nationalen Kulturerbe zählt.
    Außergewöhnlich ist auch das Aquädukt mit seinen gewaltigen Bögen aus dem 17.Jahrhundert, das den Palast der Grafen von Ficalho versorgte.
    Das historische Ensemble, bestehend aus dem Stadttor von Beja, Aquädukt und Schöpfbrunnen, wurde zu einem der sieben Wunder des Alentejos gewählt.
