The “Collegiata
of
Saint Mary”
The Collegiata di
Santa Maria was founded by
Florentines in 1257 although today little of its
original Gothic design remains. Over the centuries it
has been renovated many times, most recently in
1913 and then again during the 1930s when the
seventeenth century altars were destroyed .
The most interesting work of
art in the church is the
‘Master of Figline ’ ( il
‘Maestro di Figline ’). This
painting depicts Mary on a
throne surrounded by angels,
Saint Ludovico do Tolosa
and
Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.
The composition of this
painting reflects that of the
Giotto equivalent painted for
All Saints in Florence in 1310
which can be seen today in
the Uffizi.
The effort of the Republic was visible to
perpetuate the memory of war and to
lay the foundations of a unifying
collective, civic and secular identity. In
a very difficult economic climate, of
great political and social instability, the
state and civil society extended the
monumental building to the 40's.
Delivering a symbolic ideal ranged from building complex monuments to standardized and simple patterns. The Committee on
Standards of World War staged the most successful events in the intention of the Republican Government in the consecration of the
national memory. On December 3, 1921 gathered in the noble hall of the Military School, under the chairmanship of General Gomes da
Costa, some fighters who form the basis of the origin of CPGG that for fifteen years would produce a mapping of the Great War standards.
Developed a work valued at 2,000 tales; erected seven patterns in the old Portuguese sector Flanders and others in Luanda, Lourenço
Marques, Ponta Delgada and Santa Maria; promoted the celebrations of April 9 and November 11; organized and managed the Museum of
Offerings to the Unknown Soldier; launched the civic cult of the
Olive Votive; seconded the action of North Patriotic Junta with the incentive to build local council monuments and monument to Carvalho Araújo in Vila Real; and did translade the remains of the first soldier killed in Flanders of Richebourg Cemetery l'Avoué for Barquinha.
Monetary and logistical means not missing, "through an intense patriotic propaganda, in formal sessions, conferences and festivals", with the support of Portuguese communities abroad, especially the
Brazilian, and the compulsory affixing of the seal of the Great War s
The castle of Alegrete is located in
the parish with the same name, in the
municipality of Portalegre, in
Portugal. It was strategically located
and constituted one of the most
important fortifications of the
Portuguese border with Spain. It was
very important in the defensive
system of the region in the middle
ages. Currently, it is used for touristic
purposes and works as a magnet for a
region that suffers from its
interiority.
The Cathedral
is located
in the
county of
Sé , in
the Portalegre
municipality . It was
built on
the
initiative of
João Luís
of Portugal
in the
place
where the
Church of
Santa Maria
do Castelo
was placed . Alfonso
Alvares ’ project was
started in
1556 . The last
rock, the closure
of
the dome, was
placed in
1575 , and it
was
completed and
sanctified in
the same
century .
Its first
bishop was
Don Julian . In
1795 , by
determining the
Bishop Manuel
Tavares the
cathedral was
renovated, dating from
this
period his

About the writer:
•José Maria dos Reis Pereira, known as José Régio
was born in Vila do Conde in 17th September of
1901 where he lived all his childhood.
•He arrived in Portalegre in 1929 where he taught at the “Liceu
Mouzinho da Silveira”.
•As a hobby he dedicated himself to books and painting but one of his
biggest passion was literature and writing about: God and devil.
• He gathered a huge collection of antiquities. He sold his Portalegre´s
house and all his collection to the “Câmara Municipal de Portalegre”
and in 1969 the house became a well known museum.
What can we see at this museum?
•There we can see a lot of religious art.
José Régio’s house museum
José Régio is the pseudonym of José Maria dos Reis Pereira. He was a teacher and an important poet. The José Régio’s House Museum is located
in the former residence of the writer, in which he lived during 34 years, writing some of his major
works. It also has lots of religious art pieces and traditional pieces of art.
The author of "Toada de Portalegre" played a key role in the collection and preservation of numerous copies of tradicional culture of the
Alentejo area. His old house breathes the environment in which José Régio lived. The room and the poet's
work room are intact, just as he left them.
Among the many treasures which may here be observed, there are the 400 sculptures of Christ which the poet collected throughout his life, a sign of his faith.

The tower of Belém
The Tower of Belém or Tower of Saint Vincent is one of the most expressive monuments of Lisbon. It is located on the right side of
the Tagus river, in Belém, where in others times existed the Beach of Belém. Initially it was surrounded by waters in all is perimeter because the tower was
built on a small island in the Tagus River near the Lisbon shore.
The tower was commissioned by King John II to be part of a defense system at the mouth of the Tagus river and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon.
The monument stands out by his implicit nationalism, as it is all surrounded by decorations of Portuguese coat of arms, including inscriptions of crosses of Christ in the windows of the stronghold; these characteristics refer mainly to the typical architecture of a time when country was a global power. It began to be built at 1514 and it was finished at 1519.
It was classified as a National Monument on 10th January
1907 and as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (along with the nearby Jerónimos Monastery) since 1983, because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime
discoveries of the era of the Age of Discoveries. In the
same year it integrated the XVII European Art, Science and Culture exhibition. The monument reflects Islamic and
Oriental influences, featuring Manuelino style. Luís Raposo – 7th C

THE WHITE FACTORY
This is one of the oldest Polish industrial monuments of architecture.
Presently, it is the seat of the Central Museum of Textiles in
Łódź .
POLAND
The White Factory was erected in 1835 - 1837 by Ludwig Geyer, who was an
immigrant from Saxony. It is an example of magnificent industrial architecture.
Its beauty was appreciated only in the 21 st century .
The four - wing mill and the Old Boiler House are situated in the middle of a big
courtyard. A high chimney, two dust towers and two water - towers are distinctive
features of industrial architecture. They were not observed in other mills .
It used to be the most modern facility in the Polish Kingdom and in Europe. In
1839 first steam engine was launched. There were spinning, weaving and printing
materials as well as 7584 spindles and 180 looms.
At the back, there is an open - air museum of Lodz’s wooden architecture.
We can admire the sights from the end of 19 th century such as
St. Andrew Bobola church from Nowosolna , villa from
Ruda Pabianicka , Stationer
House, Tram Stop.
I have chosen this monument because I think it is a great place to show how
inhabitants of Łódź once lived and also an interesting way to learn about
the history of Łódź .
Over the next years local residents
used the remains of the castle
as a source of building materials.
After the World War II, the castle became
the seat of the scout troop, and in 1964
reconstruction started –
this is
always my
favourite view

going in
direction of north

Hadrian’s Wall
A World Unesco
Heritage Site
Hadrian’s Wall
• The Roman state, in one form or another, survived for over 2000
years. Its empire was one of the greatest the world has seen.
• Hadrian's Wall epitomises Roman power. It stretched 80 miles from
the Solway Coast in Cumbria to Wallsend near Newcastle upon
Tyne. In places the Wall reached 6m in height. It took three
legions (roughly 15,000 men) only 6 years to build. Hadrian's Wall
was a massive feat of engineering traversing rolling countryside,
crossing rivers and hugging the formidable crags of the Whin Sill
near Bardon Mill.
• Today, the Wall stands as the best known and best preserved
frontier of the Empire and a testament to the ingenuity and skill
of its builders. It is Britain's greatest Roman monument and,
together with the Antonine Wall and the Upper German Raetian
Limes, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Frontiers of the
Roman Empire'.

The Angel of the North
The Angel of the North
Since spreading its wings in February
1998 Antony Gormley's The Angel of
the North has become one of the
most talked about pieces of public
art ever produced.
Rising 20 meters from the earth near
the A1 in Gateshead, the Angel
dominates the skyline, dwarfing all
those who come to see it. Made from
200 tonnes of steel, it has a wingspan
of 54 metres. Getting up close and
personal with the Angel is an
experience you'll never forget!
