The small town of Aquae Flaviae, known to the Romans for its thermal springs, was transformed into an important resting point on the Astorga-Braga road when Trajan built a bridge over Tâmega River, within its bounds. In 1160, after being recaptured from th Moors, Chaves was fortified to ensure its command of the valley facing the Spanish fortress of Verín. In the 17th Century ramparts were added, after the style of the French military architect Vauban. Even now the old castle huddled close by picturesque white houses with corbelled wooden verandas give the town considerable style. CHAVES is now a quiet spa town, equally known for its excellent smoked PRESUNTO HAM.06.04.2016. ----------------------------------------------------------------

TAVIRA PARÓQUIAS DE SANTIAGO E SANTA MARIA. *PÁSCOA DO SENHOR* Oh nova Páscoa! Oh festa do triunfo De Cristo glorioso Que nos veio salvar! Oh nova Páscoa! Alegria do mundo! A vida nos abriu Suas portas de gloria! Oh nova Páscoa! A ceia do festim Encheu-se de convivas Celebrando o Senhor! Oh nova Páscoa! Os baptizados vêm Com túnicas de festa Ás bodas do Cordeiro! Oh nova Páscoa! O vencedor da morte, Jesus Ressuscitado, Nos dá a vida eterna. CASTRO MARIM PARÓQUIA DE SAO TIAGO. **SANTA PÁSCOA** "Porque buscais o Vivente entre os mortos? Nao está aqui; ressuscitou! Lembrai-vos de como vos falou, quando ainda estava na Galileia, dizendo que o Filho do Homen havia de ser entregue às maos dos pecadores, ser crucificado e ressuscitar ao terceiro dia". (Lc 24, 5-6) A equipa sacerdotal da Zona Pastoral dos concelhos de Vila Real de Santo António e Castro Marim desejam a si e sua família uma SANTA PÁSCOA:
BOA PÁSCOA - FELIZ PÁSCOA 2015, CONCEICAO DE TAVIRA. Mother Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao, Parish Conceicao de Tavira, Century 16th. This Church was probably built because of the importance of the Caminho do Este de Portugal leaving from Tavira, passing by Conceicao, passing by Cacela Velha, passing by Sao Bartolomeu to Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires in Castro Marim, nowadays Parish Sao Tiago. The building of this Church began during the early 16th Century as part of the creation of the Parish of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao. Its ecclesiastical Patronage is attributed to the Order of Santiago. The Temple offers a marvellous 16th Century main portico comprised of a broken arc with five rings, inscribed on a gable, the last archivolt of which is decorated with late-Gothic representations (branches, foliage, flowers, gargoyles, dragons and other elements). The interior consists of three naves and just three spans, with capitals and column bases decorated in the classic Renaissance style. Accordingly Tavira had a school of craftsmen fluent in that style, and they worked within the scope of activity of the renowned master mason Pilarte. The main Chapel is covered by a 16th Century groin vault, the intersections of which bear the coat of arms of the Order of Santiago in low relief. The Temple was restored in the mid 18th Century. In the process it gained a baroque gable that livens up the front facade and frames it, along with the coat of arms of the Order of Santiago modelled in baroque plaster forms. Happy Easter, Iter Stellarum, Bom Caminho.

Since 1992 the town has become famous for the discovery of PALEOLITHIC ROCK ART in the Côa Valley, just a few kilometers away. *IGREJA MATRIZ; The parish church has a remarkable Manueline granite facade, a belfry porch, and a doorway surrounded with clustered pilasters and topped by an archivolt decorated with floral and shell motifs under a lintel where the armillary spheres frame a 16th Century PIETÀ in limestone. The interior has three naves where the painted wooden ceiling is supported by leaning columns giving the impression of being open to the sky; the carved capitals represent human heads. Baroque alterpieces of gilded wood decorate the apse and a south chapel. *PELOURINHO, This is a beautiful Manueline Pillory in granite, the stock encircled with cable moulding and the top sculpted with small columns and statues under an armillary sphere and a lily. **EXCURSIONS; PARQUE ARQUEOLÓGICO DO VALE DO CÔA. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ***VILA FLOR*** Já só resta uma das cinco portas em arco da muralha mandada erguer por D. Dinis, mas nao lhe falta outro património melhor conservado para mostrar. É o caso da Igreja Matriz, da fonte Romana, dos solares dos Lemos e dos Aguillares e, em Fevereiro, as amendoeiras em flor. Bela vista do alto do vizinho santuário de Vilas Boas. ----------------------------------------------------------------
