Almeida Fortress City
Description:
Almeida or, as this city is also called, Almeida is a city of Portugal, which is part of the district of Guarda.
In fact, the town is not big, compared to, for example, Lisbon, but it has many ancient buildings and monuments, because in fact Almeida is a city-fortress, left when the border of Portugal and Spain really needed protection.
The patron saint of this city is the Virgin Mary or, in Portuguese, Nossa Senhora da Luz. According to legend, she repeatedly saved this fortress from all sorts of natural disasters, such as fires and earthquakes, so that the city appears before tourists in all the glory of its former splendor.
