In the Alto Alentejo, in Crato, a palace dating from 1905, its cloister and a courtyard covering some 600 m². When the palace was completed in 1905, Portugal still had a king. Five years later, the Republic was proclaimed. The residence, however, has retained the self-assurance of its era – that of a society which built grandly and for the long term. It is best appreciated from the ground floor upwards. At the centre, a cloister opens the house up to the sky and extends into patios, gardens and then a courtyard of around 600 m². A wooden staircase connects the different levels. The reception rooms have retained their high ceilings, parquet floors and fireplaces, whilst six bedrooms occupy the upper floors. At the very top, a vast attic still awaits a purpose. On the ground floor, a self-contained flat retains its own entrance, ideal for those wishing to entertain. Portugal has changed its political system. The palace, however, has not changed its ways.

The large rooms have retained their original fireplaces. Eight hand-painted 18th-century azulejo panels still hang on the walls. The vaulted brick ceilings, constructed using the abobadilha technique unique to the Alentejo, tell a part of this region’s history all on their own.

Alegrete has a castle. It’s medieval, it overlooks the plain, and from the terrace of this house, it hasn’t changed in centuries. Between them lie 25 hectares that the Serra de São Mamede has shaped in its own way: vineyards that have been growing without water since 2022, cork oaks that no one planted, olive trees, and an orange grove at the center of which a spring has always fed a basin that has become a swimming pool. The house is rustic, understated, and unpretentious. It does not comment on the landscape. It inhabits it.

In Casa Branca, in the Alto Alentejo, a 1924 residence with Arabic influences. The Alto Alentejo bears few traces of the cultural exchanges that have nonetheless shaped it for centuries—between Moorish influences and the rural traditions of the plateau. A house in Casa Branca, built in 1924, preserves something of this in its very design: a style that draws as much from the Alentejo vernacular as from a more southerly region. In Casa Branca, houses of this size can be counted on the fingers of one hand. With its thirteen bedrooms and library, this one remains one of the few that still retains the scale of a bygone era.

In Sousel, in the Alentejo region, a manor house with a tower and about 4 hectares of vineyards in production. The Alentejo was contested for centuries between Moorish and Christian kingdoms, and between military orders and the Portuguese nobility. In Sousel, between Portalegre and Estremoz, the stone has preserved the memory of these struggles: a four-story manor house with a tower, built at a time when constructing tall structures was still a way of asserting control over territory. The estate did not stand idle. The vineyards—some 4 hectares in production—continued to thrive. So did the olive grove. The private dam holds back the water as one would keep a secret. A traditional Alentejo house and a warehouse complete what the manor began, on 6.5 hectares that time has shaped at its own leisurely pace. An approved 700 m² project lies dormant in a drawer. It’s just waiting for someone to take it on.

In the Alentejo, in the historical centre of Elvas, just 20 kilometres from Badajoz, 42 kilometres from Estremoz, 84 kilometres from Évora and 200 kilometres from Lisbon, we find the extraordinary Palácio dos Mesquita Pimentel, boasting 500 years of history. Located close to the Cathedral, in Largo de Santa Clara, one of the most typical and picturesque squares in Elvas. The Largo de Santa Clara is comprised of a triangular square, surrounded by noble manor houses and next to Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Consolação. This square is also close to the 10th Century Arabic Gate, flanked by two towers and crowned by a gallery. The Mesquita Pimentel Palace was built in the 16th Century by Luís de Mesquita Pimentel, noble knight of the city of Elvas. The Palace was home to King Filipe II of Spain in 1580, while he lived in Elvas prior to moving onwards to Lisbon. Several months prior, the Palace had been remodelled by the Spanish court architect Juan de Herrera, the same architect that built the Mosteiro do Escorial. The Palace had originally been connected to another building located a bit further south, at the Eastern Gate, and thus, at the outset, was a single structure. The Palace was subject to various interventions throughout the 18th and 19th Centuries, preserving merely a corner window on the lateral façade, facing Rua Tenente Passos e Sousa. The architectural columns surrounding this corner window are typical of Spanish architecture of the late 16th Century. Inside the Palace, one finds a large patio which one enters via a gate crowned with the Mesquita Pimentel coat of arms. An impressive portion of the first Islamic fortress walls runs through the Palace. This fortress wall was built in the 9th Century and includes the ancient Temple Gate of the fortress wall, with an original wrought-iron arch and elbow-shaped entrance. Distributed among three floors and with high ornamented ceilings, the Palace currently has eight bedrooms, seven living rooms, four bathrooms, three libraries/offices, three marble fireplaces, two kitchens, five vaulted grain cellars, stables, a wood storage house, garage, various patios, terraces and varandas and an orchard. There is ample space to install a pool. The Palace offers panoramic views of Elvas and its idyllic surroundings. Since it is a Heritage Site, it also qualifies for certain fiscal benefits. This property offers the opportunity to create a truly unique and charming Boutique Hotel, rich in history and culture.

The Palácio dos Marquisis is an architectural jewel located in the historic center of the walls of Elvas, a classified UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in the 18th century, this palace is a symbol of status, designed to house the high aristocracy with the utmost rigor, privacy, and distinction. This property is a haven of unique exclusivity in the heart of Elvas. A true well-kept treasure that merges the grandeur of intra-muros civil architecture with the unique splendor of the Portuguese Baroque. Given its monumental size of 3,402 m² and 75 rooms, the palace primarily presents an extraordinary opportunity for the hospitality sector, being the ideal building for conversion into a distinct boutique hotel or luxury suite project. For this purpose, the property already has an approved project. This factor constitutes a substantial competitive and bureaucratic advantage, allowing for the immediate start of restoration and space reconversion works without the usual delays in a UNESCO historic center. The current project aims to rigorously preserve all the 18th-century structural and decorative heritage, while simultaneously introducing modern habitability infrastructures. In parallel, and thanks to its intrinsic nobility, the building remains perfectly suited to serve as an exceptional family residence. With origins dating back to the 16th century, the building is developed in three blocks, with remodeling from the 18th century that establishes its uniformity and grandeur. The palace was built between 1750 and 1752 by D. João de Aguilar Mexia, utilizing part of the pre-existing mansion that belonged to Francisco de Magalhães da Gama Lobo. All the marble decoration is the work of sculptor José Francisco de Abreu, hired by the owner for this purpose in 1751. Erected in the city's most noble square, gracefully shading the ancient Cathedral of Elvas, today the Mother Church, the Palácio dos Marqueses is a well-kept secret within the iconic bastioned walls. In a densely built historic center classified by UNESCO, owning a palatial property with a total area of 3,402 m² is a rare privilege that materializes into a true island of tranquility in the heart of Portugal's history. With its 3,402 m² of covered area, the interior dazzles with the originality of its design. The imposing architectural elements of the palace serve as an exquisite frame for its vast halls, decorated with unique and extremely rare tile panels. The interior layout of the Palace features an unusual architectural characteristic for its size: the absence of corridors. Circulation is done through wide passages (en enfilade) that connect the rooms directly to one another, creating a fluid layout. Further enhancing the property's secular structure, the house features a cistern of imposing dimensions, a remarkable historical testament to the architecture and engineering of the time. The exterior is complemented by three private gardens, offering outdoor leisure spaces within the urban perimeter. This building was constructed to be an exclusive refuge for the high nobility, the former Lords of the Border, which still guarantees it a sense of absolute peace, protection, and privacy in the heart of this historic city today. The maximum exponent of Portuguese art covers almost all the palace walls. Corridors, halls, and the staircase are filled with unique 18th-century tile panels, transforming the house into an authentic living museum of national tile art, making it one of the most fascinating buildings and an exemplar of noble civil architecture in the Alto Alentejo. The city houses the largest set of bastioned fortifications in the world, the walls of Elvas, which, together with the city's historic center, are a World Heritage site, a title awarded by UNESCO on June 30, 2012.

According to https://cotr.pt/docs/ICNRD/Papers/43.pdfQUALITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE WATER USED IN THE IRRIGATION PERIMETER OF CAIANunes, J.M.1 ; Coelho, J.P2 ; López-Piñeiro, A.3 ; Soeiro-de-Brito, A.1 ; Silva, C1 . 1 Escola Superior Agrária de Elvas, Apt 254, 7350 Elvas. Email: 2 Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Inst. Sup. de Agr., Tapada da Ajuda, 1300 Lisboa. 3 Universidad de Extremadura, Facultad de Ciencias, Avda Elvas s/n, Badajoz (Spain). Conclusions From the results presented we can conclude: 1. The water does not undergo a significant change in its composition along the channels that make up the Caia Irrigation Perimeter. 2. Contrary to what we initially thought, there is no clear trend of variation in the results that can be related to the volume of water evaporated or the volume of water stored in the Caia Dam Reservoir. 3. According to the qualitative classification of water for irrigation proposed by FAO, the water used in the Caia irrigation perimeter has no restrictions on its use. 4. According to the qualitative classification of water for irrigation proposed by the USDA, the water used in the Caia Irrigation Perimeter is considered to be of low salinity and medium sodicity, and can be used for irrigation in most agro natural drainage systems. 5. The irrigation water used in the Caia Irrigation Perimeter fully complies with Portuguese Law regarding the quality that a given water must have in order to be used for irrigation (Decree-Law 236/98).
