In the Alentejo, within the walled town of Elvas, a former locksmith’s workshop that has been converted into an artist’s studio. Elvas has long served as a strategic stronghold. Situated on the crucial route between Lisbon and Madrid, from the 17th to the 19th century the town was enclosed within the world’s largest system of dry-moated bastions, designed by the Jesuit Cosmander. The 7-kilometre-long Amoreira aqueduct enabled it to withstand prolonged sieges. It is fitting, then, that a former locksmith’s workshop should have been converted into a home here. Its forge remains, set within a courtyard with Arabic-inspired features. The 120 m² of living space has been adorned with cement tiles, antique azulejos and ornaments crafted by local artisans. The property saves the best for last: a rooftop terrace from which the view takes in the old town, then stretches out towards the Spanish countryside that the ramparts once guarded.
