HISTORY🏯👨🏫 / HISTORIA🚩🌄🧭
It is not the first time that I visit Sintra, this small city that is located in the center of Lisbon is very famous because it has 3 of the best tourist sites in Portugal, the Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira and the Moorish Castle, but of course I warn you that they are not cheap for 2 people to visit the 3 places are about 60 euros, the bad thing about Sintra is how it is in the center of Lisbon it ends up being very expensive, but it is worth visiting, do you complete everything in one day? no!!! To see the 3 sites in detail, I recommend 3 days because they are very large and have a lot of historical details!🚙🌍🚩
No es primera vez que visito Sintra, esta pequeña ciudad que se ubica en el centro de Lisboa es muy famosa porque tiene 3 de los mejores sitios turisticos de Portugal, el palacio de la pena, Quinta da regaleira y el castillo do mouros pero desde ya te advierto que no son baratos para 2 personas visitar los 3 lugares son unos 60 euros, lo malo de Sintra es como esta en el centro de Lisboa acaba por ser muy costoso, pero vale la pena visitarlo, completas todo en un dia?? no!!! para ver con detalle los 3 sitios te recomiendo 3 dias porque son muy grandes y tiene bastante detalles historicos!🧭🧭
If you do not have your own vehicle, do not worry, there are many transports that go up the Sintra mountains, you can also rent a small private tourism vehicle that generally includes a small tour, you would pay between 30-60 euros for the entire tour! Indifferently you will do quite a few kilometers walking to move from one place to another you can easily do about 5km but do not worry the landscape that the Sintra mountain range offers you is magnificent you have a great view of the small town of Sintra! a varied vegetation with many plant species!
Si no tienes vehiculo propio no te preocupes hay muchisimos transportes que suben la sierra de sintra, tambien puedes alquilar un pequeño vehiculo de turismo privado que generalmente incluye un pequeño tour, pagarias entre 30-60euros todo el tour completo! indiferentemente vas hacer bastantes kilometros caminando para transladarte de un lugar a otro puedes hacer facilmente unos 5km pero no te preocupes el paisaje que te brinda la sierra de Sintra es magnifico tienes una gran vista al pequeño pueblo de Sintra! una vegetacion variada con muchas especias de plantas!
In 1839 the King of Portugal Fernando II carried out a campaign of restoration and construction of works of structure with inspiration (romantic), his plan led to the construction of many towers like the one in the photo that have a medieval appearance, Don Fernando did not want that the era of the castle was forgotten in the history of Portugal!🤴👸
En 1839 el Rey de Portugal Fernando II realizo una campaña de restauracion y construccion de obras de estructura con inspiracion (romantico), su plan conducia la construccion de muchas torres como esta que esta en la foto que tienen aspecto medievales, Don Fernando no queria que la era de los castillo fuera olvidada en la historia de Portugal!💂♂️💂♀️🏰🏰
I was very impressed because the castle is in one of the highest points of Lisbon, we can see even the Atlantic Ocean, as always the kings always thought of everything before ordering things to be built... And this castle can anticipate the enemy several days in advance! and that was the purpose of building it so high! It would be very difficult to invade or destroy it because it is fused with the mountain and a small dense forest, the enemy troops only had one access and it was very well protected!🤯🧠
Quede muy impresionado porque el castillo esta en uno de los puntos mas altos de Lisboa, podemos ver hasta el oceano atlantico, como siempre los reyes siempre pensaron en todo antes de mandar a construir cosas... Y es que este castillo puede anticipar al enemigo con varios dias de anticipacion! y ese fue el proposito de construirlo tan alto! seria muy dificil invadirlo o destruirlo porque esta fusionado con la montaña y un pequeño bosque denso, las tropas enemigas solo tenian un acceso y estaba muy bien protegido!🏰🏰🏯
Reading a little the descriptions of the castle we find some walls that are far from the main castle, this has a meaning! the purpose of a second line of walls was meant that people lived in the surroundings and protection should be given to the town, animals, crops! I mean this castle not only had military purposes!👩👧👩🦰🚩🧭
Leyendo un poco las descripciones del castillo nos encontramos con unas murallas que estan alejadas del castillo principal, esto tiene un significado! el proposito de una segunda linea de murallas era significado que habitaban personas a los alrededores y debia darse proteccion al poblado, animales, siembra! osea este castillo no solo tenia fines militares!🏰⛪🏤🏠
At first glance they look like caves but they are not! these huge holes are silos! Here different types of food were stored from many varieties of cereals to legumes, this practice does not date from the age of the castles, it is very old... We refer to pre-history, even so hundreds of years later the Muslims when they invaded Portugal kept these "silos" running!😮😮
A simple vista parecen unas cuevas pero no lo son! estos enormes agujeros son silos! aqui se almacenaba diferentes tipos de alimentos desde muchas variedades de cereales hasta legumbres, esta practica no data desde la era de los castillo es muy antigua... Nos referimos a la pre-historia, aun asi cientos de años despues los musulmanes cuando invadieron Portugal mantenian estos "silos" funcionando!😍😍
While we walk to reach the castle we go through millions of years of history, for example in this area we can see traces of when the Muslims inhabited Portugal in the 10th and 12th centuries. It is known that this happened because many decorative objects from the she was muslim!😏😏
Mientras realizamos una caminata para llegar al castillo vamos recorriendo millones de años de historia, por ejemplo en esta area podemos ver rastros de cuando los musulmanos habitaron Portugal en el siglo X y XII se sabe que sucedio porque se recolectaron en excavaciones muchos objetos decorativos de la era musulmana!👳♀️👳♂️👳♀️👳♂️
Don Fernando destroyed many Christian artifacts and tombs when he carried out the works in the 18th century, it is also believed that many Muslim bones were unearthed since there was a "cemetery" around the castle, so what the King did was create this tomb in which buried all the human remains that were found and made an engraving in the stone to honor the dead!😮😮
Don Fernando destruyo muchos artefactos y tumbas cristianas cuando realizo las obras en el siglo 18, tambien se cree que se desenterraron muchos huesos de musulmanes ya que alrededor del castillo habia un "cementerio" entonces el Rey lo que hizo fue crear esta tumba en la que sepulto todos los restos humanos que se encontraron e hizo una grabacion en la piedra para honrar a los muertos!🦴🦴💀
Halfway we find this chapel that bears the name: "church of san pedro de canaferrim", this chapel was built in the twelfth century after the great Alfonso Enrique conquered the land, officially it was the first church in Sintra and It worked until the fourteenth century, in 1840 Fernando transformed it into a romantic ruin!🧠🤯💂♀️
A mitad de camino nos encontramos con esta capilla que lleva como nombre: "iglesia de san pedro de canaferrim", esta capilla tuvo su construccion en el siglo XII luego que el gran Alfonso Enrique conquistara las tierras, oficialmente fue la primera iglesia en Sintra y funcionaba hasta el siglo XIV, en 1840 Fernando la transformo en una ruina romantica!💥💥👨🤴
When we enter we find many objects discovered in the excavations that were carried out around the walls where the Muslim peoples lived.🚩
Cuando entramos nos encontramos con muchos objetos descubiertos en las excavaciones que se realizaron al rededor de las murallas donde habitaban los pueblos musulmanos🏆🔔
When the excavations were carried out, it was determined that the Muslim town was sheltered in the Sintra mountains and as evidence it was possible to find a necropolis with small Arab tombs and bones, as well as silos and an oven, in the year 1147 Henrique destroyed the town As a sign of victory, among the discoveries it is noted that more than one person was buried in a well, which is believed to be a family tomb! as well as a jar from the 5th century BC!😮😮
Cuando se realizaron las excavaciones se determino que el pueblo musulman se abrigo en la sierra de Sintra y como evidencia se logro encontrar una necropolis con pequeñas tumbas y huesos arabes, asi como tambien los silos y un horno, en el año 1147 Henrique destruye el pueblo como señal de victoria, entre los descubrimientos se descata que un pozo se enterraban mas de una persona, lo que se cree que era una tumba familiar! asi como una jarra del siglo V antes de cristo!😄😄
Sometimes we underestimate the history of things that are simple like a simple muraña! but when deep studies are done, great things are revealed, for example in these walls there is evidence that there was a reconstruction in 3 phases during various times!😎😎
Aveces subestimanos la historia de cosas que son simples como una simple muraña! pero cuando se hacen estudios profundos se revelan grandes cosas, por ejemplo en estas murallas hay evidencias que hubo una reconstruccion en 3 fases durante varias epocas!🕵️♀️🕵️♂️👨🏫
Here we can see some graves and the asylum that was found from the Arabic era! as well as a description of how the stones that were going to be placed in the wall were made and cut!🧠💥
Aqui podemos ver algunas sepulturas y el asilo que fue encontrado de la era arabica! asi como una descripcion de como se fabricaba y cortaba las piedras que iban a ser colocadas en la muralla!👨🏫🚩
INSIDE THE CASTLE🏯👨🏫 / DENTRO DEL CASTILLO🚩🌄🧭
This is the largest area of the castle and was called the parade ground, it had a military purpose, since in the face of any danger or military preparation the troops would gather here to receive future orders from the king or the person in charge!🕵️♂️🧠💥
Esta es el area mas grande del castillo y era llamada plaza de armas, tenia proposito militar, ya que ante cualquier peligro o preparacion militar las tropas se reunian aqui para recibir futuras ordenes del rey o la persona que estuviese al mando!💂♀️💂♂️
This is the so-called gate of betrayal and it had an important role inside the castle because here the troops could make a quick retreat and leave the castle, or receive reinforcements in wars!💥😮
Esta es la llamada puerta de la traicion y tenia un papel importante dentro del castillo porque por aqui las tropas podian hacer una retirada rapida y dejar el castillo, o recibir refuerzos en guerras!🚩👨🏫
The castle was declared a UNESCO heritage site in 1995, according to history it is thought that the castle was built in 305 BC, there is much evidence that Sintra had been occupied from X to VIII BC, the Portuguese know that the Arabs occupied the region of Portugal for many years and that is why many cities in Portugal have Arab names!💥🚩
El catillo fue decretado como patrimonio de la UNESCO en 1995, segun la historia se piensa que el castillo fue construido en el 305 antes de Cristo hay mucha evidencia que sintra habia sido ocupada desde el X al VIII antes de cristo, los Portugueses sabemos que los arabes ocuparon la region de Portugal por muchos años y por eso muchas ciudades de Portugal tienen nombres arabes! 💀👳♂️🧔💂♀️💂♂️
The Muslim domain ends when Alfonso I retakes the city and Lisbon between 1112-1185, after the conquest of the castle it was fortified and repaired for future defenses of the Portuguese capital, Sintra was very important in Portuguese history because several kings chose the city for dwell in it!🕵️♀️👩🎓
El dominio musulmano acaba cuando Alfonso I retoma la ciudad e Lisboa entre 1112-1185, luego de la conquista del castillo fue fortificado y reparado para futuras defensas de la capital portuguesa, Sintra fue muy importante en la historia Portuguesa porque varios reyes escogieron la ciudad para habitar en ella!🤴👸
As I mentioned before, between 1834-1853, when King Ferdinand II lived in Sintra, he made some investments in the castle, creating a romantic and medieval architecture. Later, in the 50s and 60s, when the monarchy was already extinct in Portugal, the government took this beautiful castle and performs renovations and restorations!👨🏫👨🎓🤑
Como lo mencione anteriormente entre 1834-1853 el rey Fernando II cuando habitaba en sintra realizo algunas inversiones en el castillo creando una arquitectura romantica y medieval, posteriormente en la decada de los 50 y 60 cuando ya la monarquia se habia extinto en Portugal el gobierno toma este hermoso castillo y realiza remodelaciones y restauraciones!🏛🏛
