Viana do Alentejo, Castelo, HFF

Viana do Alentejo, Castelo, HFF
Classificado como monumento nacional por decreto de 16/06/1910, o conjunto arquitetónico do Castelo de Viana do Alentejo é composto pela estrutura amuralhada e por um conjunto de espaços religiosos que se encontram no seu interior: Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Anunciação, pela Igreja da Misericórdia de Viana do Alentejo, pela Capela de Santo António e pela antiga capela de Nossa Senhora da Assunção, hoje convertida no centro de interpretação para o conjunto.

Com algumas fontes históricas a colocarem a génese desta estrutura no reinado de D. Dinis (1279-1325), sendo do mesmo período da outorga do primeiro foral da vila alentejana (1313), investigações mais recentes parecem apontar para uma construção posterior.

O recinto que viria a abrigar na sua disposição os primitivos paços do Concelho, o primeiro cemitério da vila e a primitiva Igreja Matriz, consagrada a Santa Maria de Foxem, sofre já em inícios do século XVI nova campanha de obras a cargo do eborense Diogo de Arruda, arquiteto que em 1521 assumia o cargo de Mestre-de-obras da Comarca de Entre Tejo e Odiana.

Classified as a national monument by decree of 16/06/1910, the architectural complex of the Castle of Viana do Alentejo is composed by the walled structure and by a set of religious spaces that are inside: the Mother Church of Nossa Senhora da Anunciação, the Church of Misericórdia of Viana do Alentejo, the Chapel of Santo António and the former chapel of Nossa Senhora da Assunção, today converted into the interpretation centre for the complex.

With some historical sources placing the genesis of this structure in the reign of D. Dinis (1279-1325), being from the same period as the granting of the first charter of the Alentejo town (1313), more recent research seems to point to a later construction.

The enclosure, which would come to house the primitive Town Hall, the first cemetery of the town and the primitive Mother Church, consecrated to Santa Maria de Foxem, undergoes at the beginning of the 16th century a new campaign of works by the architect Diogo de Arruda, from Éborense, who in 1521 took over as Master Builder of the region of Entre Tejo e Odiana.

An attractive looking castle. I like the mix of building materials.......brick and stone.......which probable reflect the restorations that have taken place over time.

Very well captured Isabel.
