Castle Open Doors
View original eventSource · CM Albufeira
The castle of Paderne reopens its doors this September. This public interest monument is notable for its architectural features and the uniqueness of a fortification built during a tumultuous period, under pressure from the Christian kingdoms of the north on the territories of the south of the peninsula that were still part of Al-Andalus. This hisn or rural fortification, built on an elevation near the Quarteira stream using rammed earth, is an international reference, frequently mentioned and the subject of scientific studies in archaeology, engineering, architecture, conservation, and restoration. Don't miss the chance to visit!
