Meridiana - Vila do Conde

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Nei pressi del sito degli ex cantieri navali (oggi situati sull'altra sponda del fiume) si trova una gigantesca meridiana.

Vila do Conde è una città associata alle scoperte portoghesi . Nei cantieri navali della città venivano costruite navi, caravelle... che attraversavano i mari alla ricerca di nuovi mondi. A quel tempo, i navigatori erano dotati dei più diversi strumenti per l'orientamento e la navigazione , come bussole, astrolabi... E anche la meridiana, che consentiva di misurare il passare del tempo.

Nonostante le sue dimensioni, non tutti si rendono conto che si tratta di un orologio. Se volete vederlo meglio, andate alla Capela do Socorro. Da lì, la vista è privilegiata e potrete capire meglio come funziona questo orologio.
