The cave is named after the aderno (Phillyrea latifolia L.),\na common shrub in the park\u2019s flora.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Traditional Architecture: Cov\u00e3o dos Porcos<\/strong>\nCov\u00e3o dos Porcos is one of many scattered settlements on the Plateau. The term \"cov\u00e3o\" refers to a topographically\ndepressed area where the geomorphology allows for more fertile soil, which historically attracted human settlement.\nAlthough largely abandoned today, these sites preserve the traditional dry-stone architecture, including main houses\nequipped with clay-tile water collection systems, adjacent cisterns, and threshing floors (eiras).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Lapi\u00e1s and Maroi\u00e7os<\/strong>\nIn the heart of the Santo Ant\u00f3nio Plateau, near Cov\u00e3o dos Porcos, an intricate web of paths lined with dry-stone walls\nforms the chousos. You will also find maroi\u00e7os\u2014small mounds of stones resulting from land clearing. These are\ncommon throughout the Plateau and are particularly well-represented along this trail. Alongside these mounds, lapi\u00e1s\n(limestone pavements) are a constant feature as you climb toward Cov\u00e3o dos Porcos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Sinkholes (Dolinas)<\/strong>\nDolinas are fundamental features of karst systems: roughly circular depressions ranging from 1 to 1,000 meters in\nwidth and up to 300 meters in depth. About 50 meters from the path on the left, you can see two sinkholes perfectly\nenclosed by stone walls (chousos).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Pias (Stone Troughs)<\/strong>\nIn a region where water is scarce, pias represent a traditional way of using natural rock cavities formed by water\nerosion. These were historically waterproofed with a mixture of lime and olive oil and covered with stone slabs to keep\nthe water clean. Their importance is highlighted by the protective stone walls often built around them.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel\" id=\"1650550746059-cf77a265-083d52c2-f62e\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"vc_tta-panel-title\"><a href=\"#1650550746059-cf77a265-083d52c2-f62e\" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=\".vc_tta-container\"><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">PR2 - From Santar\u00e9m to the River<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-inline\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-grey\" href=\"https:\/\/visitesantarem.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PR2-DoPlanaltoDeSantaremAoRioTejo%20-%20Levantamento%20GPS.kml\" title=\"\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i> KML<\/a><\/div><div data-color=\"#ffffff\" class=\"gt3_custom_text\" style=\"color:#8995a2;font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; \">Ficheiros dispon\u00edveis em breve<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 6.2 Km\u00a0 <span><strong>Difficulty<\/strong> Moderate\u00a0 <strong>Circular:<\/strong> yes\u00a0 <strong>Start:<\/strong> Jardim da R\u00e9publica <strong>Category:<\/strong> Mixed (Urban &amp; Nature)<\/span><\/div>  \r\n<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey vc_custom_1650536527138  vc_custom_1650536527138\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span  class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span  class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18678 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santaremturismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/portassol_-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitesantarem.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/portassol_-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitesantarem.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/portassol_-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitesantarem.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/portassol_-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.visitesantarem.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/portassol_.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>This route leads to the discovery of the millennial relationship between the landscape and the life of this historical\ncity. At the starting point, located in the Jardim da Rep\u00fablica, there is easy parking and various cafeteria and restaurant\nservices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do not miss a visit to the Municipal Market, located next to the garden, as its tile panels lead to a journey through\ntime through the landscapes and the lives of the people depicted here in their daily routines. Starting from the\nbandstand located in the middle of the garden, and having the parking lot on your left side, go straight ahead crossing\nthe entire garden to the courtyard of the former Convent of S\u00e3o Francisco. Its church, classified as a National\nMonument, is considered the most beautiful manifestation of Gothic art in the country prior to the construction of\nthe Batalha Monastery, and the most evident analogies seem to be found in works from the ancient Crown of Aragon,\ntoday on Spanish soil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facing the entrance portico, descend the staircase to your right and immediately turn left, continuing straight ahead\nfor about four hundred meters. On your right side, you can see the Church of Santa Clara, classified as a National\nMonument, and a few meters ahead, turn right and descend in a straight line the various flights of the wide staircase\nthat ends at the Cal\u00e7ada de Santa Clara. Descend to the Ribeira de Santar\u00e9m. It is an old road, now paved, with a single\nupward direction that requires extra attention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After about four hundred meters, when houses appear on both sides, turn at the first right, descending a staircase\nthat ends next to Largo de Santa Cruz, facing the Church of Santa Cruz, classified as a National Monument. Cross the\nroad to the left, following not the street straight ahead, but Rua de Santa Cruz. Go straight ahead and, after safely\n10\ncrossing the railway line, turn at the first street on the left, where an old gate of the wall of this nucleus existed, then\nimmediately right and again left, walking to the end of the entire Rua Direita de Palhais until the square and fountain\nwith the same name and the medieval Alcorce Bridge. This entire area, called Santa Iria da Ribeira de Santar\u00e9m, is very\nold, with two parishes at the end of the 12th century. At the end of the street, turn right, cross the road, and turn right\nagain, continuing straight ahead and keeping a gallery of riverside trees on your left side and the houses on the\nopposite side. Here it is possible to observe the Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala), one of the many species of\nbirds that find shelter and food in this area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After passing the bandstand and the sports fields, at the end of all the housing, you have access to the banks of the\nriver and can see the monument with the representation of Santa Iria, reconstructed in 1644. Turn right and,\nimmediately, right again. Go straight ahead, crossing the entire square. At the end, turn left and again left, passing the\nrailway line at the same location. When crossing the line, turn left and continue straight ahead along this street parallel\nto the railway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Upon arriving at the Church of Santa Iria with Gothic evidence, continue straight ahead going up the street until Rua\ndo Calv\u00e1rio, where a six-hundred-meter section begins, narrow and passing under the D. Lu\u00eds Bridge, allowing from\nthat point the taking of views over the river and the riparian gallery. The bridge, built between 1876 and 1881, was\nthe first road connection between the North and the South of the country. Upon arriving at Alfange, turn at the first\nright, and begin the climb to the plateau and the city. After one hundred meters, climb the staircase on your right that\ngives access to the courtyard of the Church of S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Evangelista. Follow the left side of the church, and continue to\nclimb for another hundred meters, turning right. Here begins a seven-hundred-meter section where you must continue\nstraight ahead until entering the castle wall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first three hundred meters are on a paved terrace mid-slope that allows the first views over the fields, river, and\nits banks, and the remainder along a foot trail on a steeply sloping hillside where the final meters are already on\nmedieval pavement. This section coincides with the ancestral Way of St. James.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After passing the Santiago Gate, go straight ahead and enter the garden. Take the opportunity to rest, explore the\nmany corners, or take advantage of the Portas do Sol viewpoint to simply contemplate the magnificent panoramic\nview over the Lez\u00edria do Tejo. Upon leaving the garden, follow Avenida 5 de Outubro straight ahead and, after two\nhundred meters, turn left and descend Travessa da Judiaria; at the end, observe the old wall bastion on the left and\ntake the right which accompanies the side of the Church of Gra\u00e7a, classified as a National Monument and, when the\nstreet bifurcates, follow to the left.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arrived at Largo Pedro \u00c1lvares Cabral, continue straight ahead along Rua Braamcamp Freire. In front of the Anselmo\nBraamcamp Freire House-Museum, peek at the viewpoint with views to the Vale de Torres. After about one hundred\nand fifty meters, turn right and climb the Milagre stairs up to the square, with the Church of St\u00ba Estev\u00e3o, a National\nMonument and sanctuary, known for the Miracle that occurred in the 13th century. Here, turn right to Rua Miguel\nBombarda until you find a crossing, known as Canto da Cruz, where you turn right, following now for about one\nhundred meters the 1\u00ba de Dezembro. In the middle of the street, you pass the Miseric\u00f3rdia Church, classified as a\nNational Monument. At the end, flank on the left the Church of N\u00aa Sr.\u00aa de Marvila, classified as a National Monument,\ndating from the 12th century, nicknamed the \"cathedral of 17th-century tile\" due to its magnificent tile coating, turning\nimmediately right and, after one hundred meters, again left. At this point, you have the Torre das Caba\u00e7as and the\nChurch of S. Jo\u00e3o de Alpor\u00e3o, classified as a National Monument, adjacent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Continue to the end of Rua Passos Manuel and you will find in a corner on the left the Carmo stairs. At the end of\nthese, the location of the former Atamarma Gate is marked on the pavement, which connects the pavement and valley\nof the same name to the core of Ribeira.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You must continue straight ahead, climbing, keeping the houses on your left side and the city walls on the right. Follow\nthe curves of the wall for about two hundred and fifty meters on Rua Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es, peek at the viewpoint. Continue\nand at the bifurcation, descending, make the detour to the Fonte das Figueiras, a Gothic fountain that is a unique\nnational monument, via the Cal\u00e7ada das Figueiras, with attention to the crossing of the National Road. Return the\nsame way, climb to the left, and after a few meters climb the Travessa das Figueiras stairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end, turn right and immediately left. You have reached Pra\u00e7a S\u00e1 da Bandeira, the main square of Santar\u00e9m from\nwhich the main commercial arteries of the historical center depart. Having the Cathedral (S\u00e9) in front of you, exit the\nsquare by the street on the right, passing next to the Church of N\u00aa Sr\u00aa da Piedade, cross the road and you are back at\nthe starting point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>CONVENT OF S\u00c3O FRANCISCO<\/strong>\nFounded in 1242 by the Franciscan Order, it presents an austere typology, common in this mendicant Order, of which\nits church is a faithful example. Over the centuries, the complex was successively enhanced with decorative elements\nof great quality, such as the Renaissance arch of the Chapel of Santa Ana or the high choir, which is why the monastery\nbecame the royal pantheon of King Fernando in the 14th century. The fa\u00e7ade features a Gothic portal with horseshoe\narches and carved capitals. The church and cloisters were classified in 1917 as a National Monument. The courtyard\nand Jardim da Rep\u00fablica, formerly the Queen's walk, were requalified in 2010.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>SARDINIAN WARBLER (SYLVIA MELANOCEPHALA)<\/strong>\nEasy to observe, it measures about 13 cm in length and shows differences in plumage. The male has a black head with\na red orbital ring and the upper part in shades of gray. The female is similar but in shades of brown and has a white\nunderside with gray flanks. The difference in colors between the sexes is called sexual dimorphism. Present in the\nIberian Peninsula, Mediterranean islands, North Africa, and the Canaries, it can be observed in areas with woods,\norchards, cork oak forests, hedges, and salt marshes. In this area, it has a greater presence near the Tagus River and\nriparian galleries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>PORTAS DO SOL VIEWPOINT<\/strong>\nConsidered the \"visitor's room\" of the city of Santar\u00e9m, the Garden is situated in the ancient Alc\u00e1\u00e7ova or Moorish\ncastle. Surrounded by the old medieval wall, it allows a panoramic view over the Tagus River, the Ribeira de Santar\u00e9m,\nthe Ribatejana Lez\u00edria, cultivated fields, and the urban centers of Almeirim and Alpiar\u00e7a, located on the left bank of\nthe river. Here there are vestiges of various eras and the Urbi Scallabis \u2013 Interpretation Center (USCI), where you can\nfollow the evolution of the city's history. Near the entrance of the garden is the Church of Santa Maria da Alc\u00e1\u00e7ova,\nbuilt by the knights of the Order of the Temple in the second half of the 12th century after the conquest of Santar\u00e9m\nfrom the Moors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>CHURCH OF GRA\u00c7A AND LARGO PEDRO \u00c1LVARES CABRAL<\/strong>\nA National Monument, the Church of Saint Augustine, commonly known as Gra\u00e7a, is a large Gothic-style monument\nbuilt by the initiative of the Augustinians of Lisbon, established in the city since 1376. The main fa\u00e7ade is in flamboyant\nGothic, with a scenographic portal topped by a huge rose window. The interior has a tripartite head and the naves\nfollow the conceptions of mendicant Gothic. Here are the tombs of Pedro \u00c1lvares Cabral, discoverer of Brazil, and D.\nPedro de Meneses, the 1st governor of Ceuta. In the square, a statue pays homage to this great navigator and the Casa\ndo Brasil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\"><strong>PRA\u00c7A S\u00c1 DA BANDEIRA<\/strong>\nOne of the busiest squares in the city hosts several complexes of religious architecture. Dominating the space is the\nChurch of Nossa Senhora da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o and Cathedral. Built as a Jesuit College in the 17th century, it became a\nseminary upon their expulsion from Portugal by the Marquis of Pombal. The diocesan museum is located in this\nbuilding. At one of the entrances to the square, the Church of N\u00aa Sr.\u00aa de Marvila, built as a thank you for the Portuguese\nvictory in the Restoration wars, with an unusual octagonal dome.
