CASTELO DE VIDE - DESCRIPTION
Overlooking the golf course is
the fortified village of Marvão which is full of historic value in
the history of Portugal.
The nearest town to the Clube de Golfe de Marvão course is Castelo de
Vide. It is a most attractive small Spa Town with lots of fascinating
architectural character. Sitting on the northern edge of the Serra de
São Mamede it is a popular place for passing tourists due to its
natural welcoming charm and the claimed healing powers of its Spa
waters. Within the castle walls there stands the 17th Century Capela
de Nossa Senhora da Alegria that also contains attractive tiles of the
same period. The old part of Castelo de Vide has lots of character
with small typical houses in steep very narrow cobbled streets. This
is the "Judiaria" quarter and on the corner of one of these
streets there still stands a 13th Century synagogue. Many of these
modest homes together with the grander houses have doorways and window
surrounds artistically worked in the local granite. The church of
Salvador do Mundo is also from the 13th Century but it underwent some
interior changes in the 18th Century amongst which is the addition of
some attractive tiles.
