I Visit the Montemor-o-Novo castle🚩🌍 / Visito el castillo Montemor-o-Novo🏰🚙

Another new castle for our collection! I can now say without shame that I've lost count, haha, I need to check my hard drive to see how many we have! And I remind you that I'm working to be the first person from Zulia to post and record all the castles in Portugal, and believe me... there are only a few left... This beautiful and ambitious achievement, which has cost me countless kilometers, a lot of money, and many trips, I will immortalize on HIVE. What do you think? Is it worth continuing?🏰😍

¡Otro nuevo castillo para nuestro repertorio! Ya puedo decir sin pena que perdí la cuenta, jaja, ¡necesito revisar en mi disco duro cuántos llevamos! Y te recuerdo que estoy trabajando para ser el primer Zuliano en postear y grabar todos los castillos de Portugal y créeme... Faltan pocos... Ese hermoso y ambicioso logro que me ha costado muchísimos kilómetros, mucho dinero, muchos viajes, lo inmortalizaré en HIVE, ¿qué opinas? ¿Vale la pena continuar?🏆🏔️.

Montemor-o-Novo Castle is located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, a few kilometers from Évora! This area comprises a plain that has been inhabited by different cultures for centuries. It is believed that at some point prehistoric humans may have moved here and lived in caves or small stone houses—amazing, isn't it? To reach this town, you must use your own vehicle, as public transportation is limited.🚩🏔️
¡El castillo de Montemor-o-Novo está en el Alentejo de Portugal, a algunos kilómetros de Évora! Esta área constituye a un relieve de planicies que por muchos siglos fueron habitadas por diferentes culturas, se cree que en algún momento seres humanos prehistóricos pudieron desplazarse aquí y habitar cavernas o pequeñas casas de piedra, ¿increíble, no? Para llegar a esta ciudad debemos hacerlo con vehículo personal, ya que el transporte es crítico. 🌍🧭

first walls 2nd century BC🌍🚩

As I mentioned in the video, the first wall built around the castle was during Roman times, in the 2nd century AD; however, there is archaeological evidence that an older civilization may have built walls where the castle now stands, possibly dating from the 3rd-2nd century BC, perhaps from some Lusitanians.🌍📍

Como mencionaba en el video, la primera muralla que se construyó en el castillo fue en la época romana, en el siglo II después de Cristo; sin embargo, hay evidencias arqueológicas de que alguna civilización más antigua pudo haber construido unos muros donde actualmente está el castillo y posiblemente daten del siglo III-II antes de Cristo, puede que de algunos lusitanos.🚙🏕️

The Romans were the ones who boosted trade in Montemor-o-Novo, as they built a fairly complex road system. One of the main products traded at that time was fish extracted from the "Tejo River," and to be able to transport this product throughout Hispania, roads or stone causeways in good condition and safe were necessary, and exactly where the castle is located there is a road that connects Evora and Merida, Spain.⛺😍
Los romanos fueron quienes impulsaron el comercio en Montemor-o-Novo ya que construyeron un sistema de carreteras bastante complejas, Uno de los principales productos que se comercializaba en esa época eran pescados que extraían del "rio Tejo" y para poder llevar dicho producto por toda Hispania, eran necesarias carreteras o calzadas de piedras en buen estado y seguras, y exactamente donde esta el castillo hay una carretera que conecta Evora y Merida Espana.🧭🏰

You can pilot the drone without any problem, but you can't go higher than 120 meters. Be careful not to launch it when there are others nearby. It's recommended to request permission from ANAC so you have the sky to yourself, as they are in charge of regulating drone use.🚩

El drone lo puedes pilotear sin ningun problema, pero no puedes pasar los 120 metros de altura, ten cuidado de no lanzarlo cuando hay otros por alli, lo recomendable es pedir permiso a la ANAC asi tienes el cielo para ti solo pues ellos se encargan de organizar las personas que usan drone🌍

The beautiful views of the castle from above are incredible; who would have thought that the Arabs also knew how to take advantage of these hills, which by the way is the highest point of Montemor-o-Novo and built a fortress where the Roman ones used to be.🏰🧭
Es increíble las hermosas vistas del castillo desde arriba; quién diría que los árabes supieron también sacar provecho de estas colinas, que por cierto es el punto más alto de Montemor-o-Novo y construyen una fortaleza donde antes estaban las romanas.🚩😍

Later, during the Reconquista, King Dinis brought Portuguese troops, possibly from Lisbon, to continue the conquest of the lands that rightfully belonged to us. Let us remember that the Arabs arrived on the peninsula; they did not always live here! After seizing the lands in the 12th century, the castle was fortified.🧭🏰
Luego, en la época de las reconquistas, el rey Dinis trajo las tropas portuguesas, posiblemente desde Lisboa, para proseguir con la conquista de las tierras que por derecho nos pertenecían. Recordemos que los árabes llegan a la península; ¡no habitaron siempre aquí! luego de quitar las tierras en el siglo XII se fortifica el castillo 🌍⛲

After the 1755 earthquake, the castle was badly damaged and was repaired in the 18th century. It withstood the Napoleonic invasion, so the castle was used in various war situations and even in the independence, until in the mid and late nineties it was transformed into a museum and national heritage site.🧭😍
Luego del terremoto de 1755 el castillo quedo bastante deteriorado y se repara en el siglo XVIII sucede que aguanto la invasion napoleonica por tanto el castillo fue usado por diversas situaciones belicas e inclusive en la independencia, hasta que en la decada de mediado y finales de los noventa se transforma en un museo y patrimonio nacional.🚩🏰

Thanks, my dear friend, always for the support! Well, the idea is to keep innovating and investing in other networks as well. I suppose when I have thousands of followers, it'll be a good opportunity to promote Hive, although I'm already doing that! And yes, I think I'm less than 15 castles away from reaching my goal, which, by the way, many of those visits are registered in the drone community.
