Portas do Meio (porta centrale) - Valença

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Portas do Meio è la porta attraverso la quale si entra nel villaggio.

La nuova fortezza, realizzata nel XVIII secolo attraverso ristrutturazioni e ampliamenti, era divisa in due zone, ancora oggi ben distinte, collegate dalla Porta do Meio.

A nord si estende la zona detta “ Magistrale ” o “ Villa ”, in gran parte rettangolare, che ricopre l’antico nucleo medievale, dove si concentravano la maggior parte della popolazione e le principali strutture sociali e amministrative. È costituita da sette bastioni e tre rivellini.

A sud si trova la zona di “ Coroada ”, un'area più piccola, ma quasi non sviluppata. È composta da tre bastioni e due rivellini.

Nonostante tutto questo, Valença era una fortezza inespugnabile, costruita nel XVIII secolo, ma fu attaccata durante la guerra d'indipendenza spagnola e cadde nelle mani delle truppe napoleoniche nel 1809.
