A seleção dos monumentos, belezas naturais foram pensadas em função das escolas portuguesas envolvidas no projeto. A pesquisa foi realizada em função desse fator. O nosso grupo deveria pesquisar: Guimarães; Braga, as praias do Norte e parte do Porto. As escolas de Amarante e de Elvas ficaram com Amarante e Porto e a zona centro e sul, respetivamente.
Aqui fica o resultado da pesquisa do grupo português.
Agrupamento Amadeo de
Souza-Cardoso
Ponte de São Gonçalo
Ponte de São Gonçalo is located in the historical center of the city of Amarante, in the district of Porto. The bridge crosses the River Tâmega and is one of the main sights of the city.
Solar dos Magalhães
Solar dos Magalhães is a seventeenth-century manor house, located in the center of the urban network of Amarante, which became in the 19th century a symbol of the resistance of the Amaranths to the Napoleonic invasion.
Parque Florestal de
Amarante
Parque Florestal de Amarante, overlooking the River Tâmega and occupying more than 5 hectares of land, in the parish of Cepelos, is one of the ex-libris of the city of Amarante. It began to be planted in 1916 on the initiative of António do Lago Cerqueira (former mayor), having as the main objective the afforestation of the Marão mountains and the Meia Via mountains.
Termas de Amarante
The Termas de Amarante is overlooking the Tâmega and located a few meters from the city center, is an added reason for a visit to Amarante. It is, above all, the right place for those looking to decompress and, more importantly, to relieve the weight of respiratory, rheumatic, and musculoskeletal diseases. Water (natural mineral) is the ideal therapy for sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, neuralgias, osteoarthritis, and even skin diseases. In addition to innovators, treatments promise more health.
The Church of São Gonçalo
The Church of São Gonçalo de Amarante, is located in the Union of the Parishes of Amarante (São Gonçalo), Madalena, Cepelos and Gatão, in the city of Amarante, district of Porto, Portugal. The building has been classified as a National Monument since 1910.
Jewish neighborhood
It is located in the village of Castelo de Vide, near the Castle, in the previous local Jewish neighborhood, as some documents of the XIV and XV centuries, confirm. The neighborhood was crossed by one of the main communication axes of the castle and its collapse occurred in the reign of King D. Manuel I, after the decree that imposed catholic obedience to the Jews, who, to avoid being forced to leave the village, became new Christians. On some door frames, it is possible to see Hebraic symbols.
Ribeira
The historical region, being one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city. It is on the edge of the Douro River. It has a promenade full of bars and restaurants. It is an essential and free tour to do. Besides being one of the best neighborhoods to stay in Porto, with an incredible view of the river and the bridge.
Ponte D. Luís I
The bridge that connects the city of Porto to the neighboring Vila Nova de Gaia is one of the main tourist attractions of the region. It was inaugurated in 1888. In metallic structure, it is 385 meters long and has a maximum height of 45 meters. It has two platforms, and in the lower platform, the traffic is of cars and pedestrians, and in the upper pass pedestrians and trains.
Torre dos Clérigos
In the Historic Center of Porto, where are some of the most beautiful buildings and main sights of the city, one of the biggest highlights is the Torre dos Clérigos, next to the church of the same name. At the time of its inauguration in 1763, it was the tallest building in Portugal. It can be visited by tourists and has a lookout near the top, which offers one of the best views of Porto.
Estação São Bento
The beautiful architecture draws attention to the building of the Estação de
São Bento, in the Historic Centre of Porto. And on the inside, the
cultural richness is even greater: in the station’s lobby, hand-painted tile
murals tell epic scenes from the history of Portugal. Inaugurated in 1916,
the station is still in full activity. The visit is worth it, even if you
don’t need to take a train. If you want to understand a little more, I
recommend doing an activity like this cultural walk, which covers the most
emblematic places of the city.
Livraria Lello
It
was inaugurated in 1906 and has been in operation since then. In neo-Gothic
style, it has been an important tourist spot of Porto for
decades. It became even more well known after its staircases inspired
writer J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, in the composition
of Hogwarts' setting, the school of witches.
Jardins do Palácio de
Cristal

the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal, built in the 1860s, there are
attractions such as the Museu Romântico da Quinta da Macieirinha,

addition, of course, to the gardens with different themes, such as the Garden
of Feelings, the Garden of the Rose, and the Garden of Medicinals.

Capital of Culture in 2012. Our city is linked to the foundation of the
Portuguese national identity in the 12th century and is considered the

the various bars and restaurants that are located there, there are cultural

Penha impresses with its beauty and
harmony. A verdant landscape, strongly punctuated by the imposing granite and
unique corners. The mountain, whose highest point is 617 meters above sea
level, is the lung of Guimarães, with 60 hectares of preserved green area,
caves, hermitages, viewpoints, and a camping park. Space was built with the art
and knowledge of a group of masons led by master José de Pina, but following
the impulse dictated by nature. Even today, the imposing granite constitutes
one of its splendorous attractions, in specimens such as "o penedo do
sino" (the bell rock) or "o penedo que abana" (shaking rock),
which is added to a unique view of the city. Whether you arrive by foot, cable
car, bicycle, car, or bus, Penha is certainly a destination full of
enchantments and a temple of inner calm.

heritage humanity by UNESCO in 2003. It is a monument founded in 1722 by the

It was from Sagres that the first ships went to sea to start one of the

wall covered in red sandstone, the Silves Castle is a spectacular military

Algarve) and the mouth of the Arade River, the castle of Silves is the largest
castle in the Algarve.

Although many historians are reluctant to consider that the bridge is in
fact Roman because of the multiple reconstructions it has undergone, the truth
is that the bridge is already a landmark of the city of Tavirarising above the
Gilão River runs through the city. It was at the top of this bridge that
an important battle occurred when the Spanish invaders were defeated by
Portuguese soldiers during the dynastic crisis of 1383-1385.
São João da Barra Fort (Tavira) Algarve
The construction of the São João da Barra Fort was due to the War of
Restoration during which the Portuguese expelled the Spanish from Portugal.

of money in structures located near the border with Spain. The high point of
this fort is undoubtedly the coat of arms that can be found in the main arch.
