3rd of eight presentations on "Medieval Castles and Town Walls of Mondego" for our eTwinning project "Stone Culture Rolling Over Europe".

1. Our Stone Culture
Medieval Castles and Town Walls
of Mondego
#3 BUARCOS & FIGUEIRA DE FOZ
8ºA - eTwinning Project

2. 8ºA, eTwinning Project
The Town Walls of Buarcos
date back to the XVI and XVII
centuries and, therefore, are
not as old as the castles.
Being so close to the sea,
they were built for defence.

3. From the time of D.
Sesnando, there is just
this Torre de
Redondos, still quite
visible, on one of the
highest places in
Buarcos.

4. 8ºA, eTwinning Project
This is Forte de Sta Catarina, in Figueira da Foz, which
cooperated with the Town Walls of Buarcos in defence.

5. The first monument you see as soon as you arrive in
Figueira da Foz, this fort has recently become a very
pleasant place for families, surrounded by parking places
and benches.

6. Figueira da Foz and Buarcos have more to offer than ancient
buildings and amazing beaches. Artisanal salt production
(plus museum) and Serra da Boa Viagem for picnics are two
alternatives.
