Summary
[edit]DescriptionCastelo do Queijo - Porto - Portugal (6488732457).jpg |
O Castelo do Queijo ou Castelo de São Francisco Xavier, construído no século XV, é uma pequena fortificação defensiva, situada na Praça Gonçalves Zarco. Desde tempos imemoriais que se diz que o enorme rochedo onde o castelo foi construído era um lugar sagrado para os Draganes, tribo Céltica que veio para a Península Ibérica seis séculos antes de Cristo. Composto por delineamento angular, amplas plataformas de tiro, grossíssimas paredes, ausência de torres, com fossos para a terra firme, uma imponente porta levadiça, etc. todo este conjunto arquitectónico faz deste castelo uma bela obra de arte. Do lado norte, encontra-se ainda o escudo das armas portuguesas. Nele existiu, em tempos, um oratório dedicado a São Francisco Xavier, que estava colocado na sala da casa principal do Castelo. Apesar de o seu nome oficial ser Forte de S. Francisco Xavier, por estar assente nuns rochedos em forma de queijo, adoptou-se o nome de Castelo do Queijo. Este Castelo foi utilizado pelas forças de D. Miguel, que dali bombardearam as tropas liberais comandadas por D. Pedro. Na fachada Norte pode ver-se o escudo das armas portuguesas. Pertence à Associação de Comandos, Delegação do Norte e é actualmente utilizado como palco de eventos culturais e de animação. Situado logo após o Parque da Cidade, constitui um dos melhores pontos da cidade para se observar o pôr-do-sol. <a href="http://www.portoxxi.com/cultura/ver_edificio.php?id=159" rel="nofollow">www.portoxxi.com/cultura/ver_edificio.php?id=159</a> <a href="http://loc.alize.us/#/flickr:6488732457" rel="nofollow">See where this picture was taken.</a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/geotagging/discuss/72157594165549916/">[?]</a> |
