An impression of our visit to a beautiful region and old town - both called Mértola - in the south of Portugal.
We stayed at the Convento, an old monastery situated along the Guadiana river, and thanks to the Dutch family Zwanikken it became a wonderful harmony of history, art, nature and gardening!
An impression of the Convento, the town Mértola with it's castle and Moorisch architecture, and surroundings during springtime of Mértola, Pulo do Lobo and Azinhal.
Hope you enjoy it! (fado by Sara Gonçalves, Olhao)

Belvédère
Coordonnées GPS: 37.636087, -7.662262
Nous nous sommes d'abord rendus à un belvédère situé sur la rive du fleuve Guadiana pour ainsi bénéficier d'une splendide vue panoramique sur la ville de Mértola et son château qui la surplombe.
Ermida de Nossa Senhora das Neves
Coordonnées GPS: 37.641081, -7.665514
Nous avons également fait un petit arrêt à la Chapelle de Notre-Dame des Neiges (Ermida de Nossa Senhora das Neves).
Cette chapelle est située au haut d'une colline, à quelques centaines de mètres de la ville de Mértola, nous permettant ainsi de profiter de différents points de vue sur toute la région qui est d'ailleurs très jolie.
Visite à pied
Coordonnées GPS: 37.638405, -7.663669
Par la suite, nous nous sommes rendus à Mértola et avons stationné notre voiture à proximité de l'Église de Notre-Dame de l'Assomption (Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Anunciação) qui est en fait une ancienne mosquée.
Nous nous sommes d'abord dirigés vers le château dont l'entrée est gratuite. Il a été érigé au 12e siècle tandis que le donjon a été ajouté à la fin du 13e siècle.
Il servit à protéger la ville de Mértola dont l'emplacement situé juste à côté du fleuve Guadiana en fit une ville stratégique pour le commerce.
Nous avons pu monter au haut des remparts et ainsi obtenir de splendides vues sur toute la région.
Nous avons pu observer entre autres que des fouilles archéologiques en cours dans le secteur ont permis de mettre à jour les vestiges de deux demeures musulmanes et d'un ancien quartier maure.
Par la suite, nous avons déambulé dans les rues pavées de pierres très étroites de cette charmante petite ville.
Elle possède quelques lieux d'intérêt tels que la Tour de l'Horloge (Torre do Relógio) qui a été érigée à la fin du 16e siècle, l'Église de la Miséricorde (Igreja da Misericórdia) qui abrite le musée d'art sacré, l'Hôtel de ville ainsi que le musée municipal.

Mértola, vila medieval
A vila medieval de Mértola, antiga Myrtílis na época romana é um lugar onde se respira história. No passado Mértola foi um entreposto comercial importante na época dos Fenícios, Cartagineses, Romanos e Árabes, devido à existência de via fluvial e terrestre com ligação ao Sul.
Os Árabes deixaram uma fortaleza, posteriormente ocupada pelos cristãos, e uma mesquita, que veio a ser transformada em igreja. Em 1238, D. Sancho II conquista Mértola aos mouros, doando a vila à Ordem de Santiago para esta a repovoar.
The medieval village of Mértola Myrtilis in ancient Roman times is a place where you can breathe history. Mértola last was an important trading post at the time of the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans and Arabs, because of the existence of land and waterway connecting the South
The Arabs left a fortress, later occupied by Christians, and a mosque, which came to be transformed into a church. In 1238, D. Sancho II Mértola conquer the Moors, giving the village the Order of Santiago for this to repopulate.

São Domingos Mine:
The mining area of Sao Domingos, part of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, was from ancient times a sought after place for the extraction of minerals and there is evidence of gold, silver and copper mining works since the pre-Roman and Roman period.
Its modern operation began in 1854, at the initiative of the “Mason & Barry” mining company, which continued to operate it until 1966, with around 108 years of regular operation extracting more than 20 million tons of ore (copper, zinc, lead and sulfur). Mina de S. Domingos was the largest Portuguese mining area until the 1930s, with a continuously labour force of over a thousand workers. The mine provided a local development level much higher than the one experienced in the rest of the country. Here it was built, for example, one of the first railways to make the connection between the mine and the old river port in Pomarão. Also here it was built the first power plant in Alentejo. The local community also had accesses to a local hospital and movie theatre among other facilities.
The end of the mining exploitation – combined with the absence of an adequate rehabilitation, abandonment and subsequent vandalism of the remaining heritage – dictated the progressive decay of the territory and the population exodus. Nowadays, the development strategy is focused on the search for resolutions to the environmental problems and to the protection and valuation of the mining heritage.
On the 3rd of June 2013 the mine and urban area of Mina de S. Domingos was classified by the Portuguese authorities as a “Set of Public Interest” and currently this urban area and also the old industrial complex are part of a tour circuit that evokes the history and the living memory of the mine.
Beach:
The fluvial beach of Tapada Grande is located in the interior of the Alentejo, in Mina de São Domingos, municipality of Mértola.

Travel Guide Portugal /// Mértola
Spectacularly set on a rocky spur, high above the peaceful Rio Guadiana, the cobbled streets of medieval Mértola are a delightful place to roam. A small but imposing castle stands high, overlooking the jumble of dazzlingly white houses and a picturesque church that was once a mosque. A long bout of economic stagnation at this remote town has left many traces of Islamic occupation intact, so much so that Mértola is considered a vila museu (open-air museum). To let Mértola’s magic do its thing, you need more than a quick visit here.
Mértola comes to life every two years in May (dates change but it's uneven numbered years) during the town's Islamic Festival, when it is decorated to resemble a souk. Music, handicrafts and festivities continue for several days.
