postcards from Ribatejo



The Gates of Ródão. A point in the Tagus river where the river straightens into an easily defensible position. For those who recall the Lord of the Rings, the sight of the gates with the statues of the kings of Numeror should seem familiar.


Overlooking the river, a small fort keeps watch on the river against invading forces. Restoration efforts all over Portugal are preserving the heritage we have. This fort is a good example of that. Definitely worth visiting. The breathtaking scenery is worth it...
