Barbacena é uma pacata freguesia do concelho de Elvas, na vasta região Alentejana, dona de uma história antiga, por onde passaram já vários povos.
De facto, pensa-se que a localidade se terá desenvolvido sobre um castro pré-Romano. Posteriormente, já no reinado de D. Sancho II (1223-1248) terá sido conquistada aos Mouros, passando para domínio Português.

Barbacena, localidade outrora sede de concelho, bem próxima da fronteira com Espanha, foi por diversas vezes sitiada e atacada, nomeadamente durante a Guerra da Sucessão de Espanha, e em outras ocasiões até ao início do século XIX, levando ao próprio abandono progressivo da localidade e consequente desertificação.

Barbacena orgulha-se do seu antigo e rico património, com monumentos como a Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graça, o Pelourinho do século XVI, a Igreja Matriz construída em 1273, o orgulhoso Castelo que protegeu a povoação variadas vezes, as várias fontes e bicas, entre tantos outros legados patrimoniais.

De destacar na freguesia, as antigas tradições vão-se mantendo, existindo ainda lugar para o Artesanato local, para a Agricultura e para a bem famosa Gastronomia Alentejana.


++++++

Barbacena is a quiet parish in the municipality of Elvas, in the vast Alentejo region, owner of an ancient history, where several peoples have passed through.
In fact, it is thought that the town has developed on a pre-Roman fort. Later, during the reign of King D. Sancho II (1223-1248) it was conquered from the Moors and became Portuguese territory.

Barbacena, once a county seat, very close to the Spanish border, was besieged and attacked several times, namely during the Spanish Succession War, and on other occasions until the beginning of the 19th century, leading to the progressive abandonment of the town and consequent desertification.

Barbacena is proud of its old and rich heritage, with monuments such as the Church of Nossa Senhora da Graça, the 16th century pillory, the Mother Church built in 1273, the proud Castle that protected the village several times, the various fountains and spouts, among many other heritage legacies.

In the parish, the old traditions are still maintained, there is still room for local handicrafts, for agriculture and for the famous Alentejo Gastronomy.

As I keep noting............I love that blue and white architecture.............and in this shot the added beauty of the blue and white tiles. I also like the sculptured animal heads on the walls. All beautifully captured.

Another POV added on PIP, and a few years ago it was painted in yellow, less appealing I think...

Yellow would definitely be less appealing :-)
