Замок Кола (Castelo de Cola), расположенный около поселка Орике (Алентежу), возможно и покажется кому-то, совершенно заурядными руинами, но это не делает его менее значимым объектом для интереса, поскольку место это любопытное… Археологические раскопки показывают, что в данной местности жили финикийцы, карфагеняне и, возможно, даже римляне, а затем и мавры. Именно мавры, как считают историки, и построили замок Кола еще в VIII веке. Время их пребывания в замке породило затем множество легенд – например, о потерянном заколдованном мавританском сокровище... В конце XIII века в ходе Реконкисты замок Кола перешел в руки португальцев. Это произошло в правление короля Афонсу III, который приказал отремонтировать стены замка. Но в XVI веке по неизвестным причинам замок был заброшен, что привело к его разрушению. В 1910 года руины замка Кола были объявлены национальным памятником. Португальский археолог Абель Виана в течение 6 лет вел здесь раскопки, надеясь найти редкие артефакты и, в том числе, легендарные мавританские сокровища. Артефакты нашли. В каменных руинах был обнаружен вход в подземелье, однако оно в настоящее время затоплено, что делает невозможным его исследование. Сохранились останки одной из башен, а также ворот в замок. ... Сокровищ пока не нашли, что впрочем, не останавливает кладоискателей. Эта местность привлекала их давно, и полагают, что они своими неумелыми действиями нанесли большой урон археологическому и культурному слою. Сейчас это место оберегают и исследуют. Замок Кола включен в туристические путеводители. Он является частью большого комплекса Castro de Cola, расположенного на площади в несколько квадратных километров (в котором 15 археологических объектов, датируемых от эпохи неолита до средневековья)… Вот...

This is just a castle has been left to ruin. Not much to see apart from remains of the castle walls high on the hillside. Clearly a strategic fortress but not of high importance. No information on...

Primeiramente o lugar é magnífico, não vemos muito verde , vemos mais serrado . Um sítio arqueológico lindo chamado castelo da cola localiza-se no Alentejo. Época da pra história até a idade moderna, passando por romano e islâmico. E lindo! Era uma aldeia com um forte , a histiría e magnífica que nos foi contada pela senhora Inês que lá está a ajudar aqueles que visita a aldeia nos explicando desdo surgimento do que se sabe. Recomendo, top!

Encontramos o que procurávamos, privacidade. Recepção muito acolhedora, muita simpatia e o local é maravilhoso. Os nossos cachorros acompanharam-nos, sem qualquer tipo de restrições mas com todo o cuidado que me é devido e responsabilidade. Comida muito boa, pequeno almoço delicioso. Até andamos de caiaque no lindo rio Mira. Para voltar o mais breve possível. Obrigado por proporcionarem este momento com a minha família e cachorros.
