From Wikipedia,

Monsaraz is a small fortified medieval village, that on stands on a hill on the right margin of the Guadiana river in Alentejo – Portugal, a few Km from neighboring Spain.
It’s also the head of the civil parish of Monsaraz, in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, it has an area of 88.25 km² and a population of 977 (2001).

It’s one of the oldest Portuguese towns southern of the Tagus river. It has been occupied since pre-historic times, existing on its vicinities about one and a half hundred megalithic monuments. The hill where this village stand probably was a pre-historic fortification, and in the surrounding area there have been found several pre-roman anthropomorphic graves carved on the stone itself.

This primitive town was romanized during the Roman period, and latter was occupied by Visigoths, Arabs, Moçárabs, Jews, and after the reconquista was christianized.

Hello Raquel
This is a wonderful photo with a great depth of field that takes the eye as far as the vineyard in the background. Love the luminosity of the arch as well as the downhill habitations and fields. Very nice point of view, very artistic photo.
Congratulations.
Serge
