As always, Miguel, wonderful video work, great presentation, fascinating historical site. You know we love you and your POV YouTube adventures! Enjoy your day and have a wonderful week!! ❤️😊 J, L and D in Music City today 🇺🇸
Boa tarde Miguel, simplesmente magnífico o Castelo de Almourol sua imponência e força tinha uma visão de 360° de toda área e belas paisagens imagina no período medieval com o rio Tejo com volume de água maior e a vegetação mais existente, realmente um local especial para qualquer amante da história, ainda mais quando a Ordem dos Templários se fez presente, mais um ponto a visitar quando retornar à Portugal, valeu mais uma vez pelo vídeo e as histórias… abraços e tenha uma ótima semana..🤝👏.. Miguel gostaria de lhe perguntar: Há visitação (tour) noturno em algum castelo em Portugal, pois caso haja seria muito interessante, afinal estes castelos ainda possuem muitos mistérios e quem sabe há ainda muitos moradores👻👻😱😱
Eu já tinha assistido um vídeo sobre Almourol, mas suas explicaçõese e a história que você conta fazem ficar muito mais interessante!
Obrigada, Miguel, por mais este passeio espetacular pelas maravilhas de Portugal!
Abraços e ótima semana!
It’s so lovely! 😊
Olá Miguel. Que belo passeio com este belo castelo que está bem conservados. Um grande monumento da história de Portugal. Um abraço.
Spectacular! thank you for taking us there.
Azərbaycandan salamlar ❤
O início dessa foto que aparece, eu passei para uma tela e está no Brasil!
Já estive muitas vezes nesse Castelo, levando meus convidados do Brasil quando aqui chegam👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Desde que moro aqui no País, entro na história rica e deslumbrante que tomamos conhecimento, quando faço comentários com gente daqui, muitos não conhecem sua história, fico triste, um país tão pequeno, histórias em cada lugar que conhecemos, há quem diga, nunca fui lá , não conheço a história, ficam admirados quando cito alguma.
Nosso Brasil que é tão grande, eu sempre mergulhei nossas histórias ! ❤❤❤
Amo Tomar! Tenho bons amigos de lá!
Olá Miguel. Boa tarde. Tudo bem??? Há pouco tempo que eu ouvi falar desse Castelo. Me parece que ele não é muito comentado, o que é uma pena, só o fato de ter que pegar o barco numa paisagem lindíssima já começa muito bem o passeio, e o Castelo é lindo, emblemático, inesquecível, imagina Romanos e Templários, eu fiquei muito emocionada. Aí me perguntei: será que o Miguel colocou as mãos naqueles muros??? Espero que sim. Com certeza vai pra minha lista de visita. Obrigada por nos contar e mostrar esta história magnífica. Como sempre excelente vídeo. Abraços 😘
Fiquei deslumbrada com tanta beleza! Muito obrigada por esse passeio maravilhoso!😍❤😘😘😘um grande abraço pra você!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Ola MIguel – Almourol! Wow, just so beautiful and even on film, felt the sacredness of this place. Its been on my radar and a place I dearly want to visit one day. Thanks for sharing, and as always with such sensitivity to the people and places of an ancient past 🥝🤗
O Belíssimo Castelo de Almourol, com o seu enquadramento paisagístico e sobretudo o seu contexto histórico! Se me permite a questão! Será desta que conseguirá fazer um vídeo sobre a "Capital do Gótico", a antiga Scalabis, actual Santarém?
Bonjour
Je lis aussi St Jean de Dieu . Il était Portugais et il est né à Monteroo o Novo !
Il est y pas resté longtemps car il fut kidnappé !
Bon je regarde votre vidéo
Uma beleza o Castelo, uma imagem imponente nessa ilhota, cercada pelo rio.
Thank you for taking us along with you on a tour of the castle. It was awesome.
O castelo de Almourol é de vila nova da barquinha ou tomar
Your videos are fantastic and I have learned a great deal. I love the mystery of surrounding the Templars and their history in Portugal. However, I recently bought a place in Lisbon and the building I am in has a Hospitaller cross on it. The building is about 100 meters from the Church of Santa Luzia which has the same cross. Could you do a video on the history of this order and their role in Portugal? In the process, can you discover why there are building in the Travessa de Santa Luzia that share the same cross as the church? An additional request is to do a video on the Caminho de Santiago which starts in that area.
Does anyone wonder that after one thousand years , this is still standing? What did they use as a binder for the stones ? Today’s cement last about fifty years and that is with steel reinforcement.
O cao da minha vizinha é chato
@17:29 there is a structure across the river. Any idea what that was? And some other structure/s below the railroad tracks to the right of the first.
The way this is shot, makes me feel like I'm playing MYST back in 1996.❤
9:42 esta sozinho no barco
Love to visit it, one day
Télépathie l'arbre au pied des murs du château : (Cela a été l'horreur, dans ces pierreries là).
Rien de plus beau !
Merci pour cette somptueuse vidéo, le voyage dans le temps décolle là.
Enjoyed seeing this especially about Knights Templar. Remembered my 1st castle seen was Leeds Castle in Leeds, UK (visited 2001). Preserved because an American family lived there last maybe 1930s complete w/ coat of arms, furnishings, personal stuffs. Surrounded by a moat where a permanent walkway is now available where weddings can be held and balloon-riding events. 2nd castle was Carlisle Castle in Cumbria, England (visited 2014) where Mary Queen of Scots was incarcerated. Steps were shiny with patina, no railings and so dark not until we reach the upper parts where there are small windows. One can even see scratchings on stone walls for guards to while away the time. 3rd was Urquhart Castle in Highlands, Scotland in 2014 this is like Almoural castle because mainly walls ruins but can see the tower and other portions below. Surrounded by Loch (lake) and though we reached by tour coaster, we left by ship-like boat to go to Loch Ness. Seeing it from the small ship as we sailed on, with mists made me feel time-warped as to what the castle looked like in its heydays. This used to be owned by a clan in Scottish history. And 4th was Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany visited in 2015. Finished recently though majority were done in earlier centuries. Said to be where castles in Disneyland got their inspirations. Not all areas were allowed access and entrance was strictly by appointment time. Upon entrance, there's a digital board showing your online serial number paid voucher to go up by batches. This is on a mountain top. The main town has buses but has to walk some more because buses couldn't completely go up due to narrow road with ravine on one side. There are horse-drawn carriages too but not close to castle too, another path because didn't see this at top & still has to walk.
