Not really about the Jews of Belmonte
Hi Rachael, can you please elaborate what you meant by your comment?
Very good work. A nice story of a town whith History
Many thanks!
As usual, another great video. Very didactic, with lots of information and with the ability to keep us interested during the whole video. Constantin (rio 😥) and Tatiana, I give you once more, my congratulations for a great video
Thanks again for your attention and your great comment!
Foreign visitors, you are very Welcame to Portugal and OBRIGADO for this great Vídeo about our History of Resistense, to go on as an independent Nation.
Many thanks for your attention and comment! Pleasant to hear from you!
I am Portuguese, catholic, and I thought this was a really nice video, very sweetly put together with lots of history. I thank you for making it. Remember Aristides De Sousa Mendes. Lots of hugs. 💗
Glad you enjoyed it!
A fascinating story of how a smaller nation managed to not just stand its ground and defend its independence against a bigger neighbor, but also become a formidable player on the world's stage. A very underrated video that I do hope gets more attention from not just the UA-cam algorithm, but also those experiencing similar historical events.

voices are funny
Its also the house of dragons :)
Hi Pedro! True, this name is quite popular.
Muito Obrigado por partilhar ! Thanks for sharing and doing what the portuguese don´t do and should doing ...
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! We hope to get your feedback to several previous videos and those to follow.
I’m Portuguese of Sephardic Jewish heritage and have visited the Jewish community in Belmonte a few times, absolutely love it there.
We appreciate your attention!
Hi. I am happy to find your channel. I feel very drawn to learning about Portugual and to speak Portuguese. Hope to visit someday
Welcome! Several more videos have been published so far. And we plan this to be continued.
The fact that you took the time to find out the history of each place you visit is commendable. Not many people do that type of homework. Congratulations. Well done.
Thanks for your comment, Carlos! Indeed, most of the travel videos on UA-cam show just nice views without any idea of what is shown, and this feels frustrating. We hope that you enjoy our other videos as well.
cities named "White Castle" are so because their castle had whitewashed rubble walls, like most castle and town walls that weren't made of cut stone. So you have White Castle or Castell Gwynn in Wales, Weissenburg in Bavaria, Belgrad in Serbia and Fehérvár in Hungary, Gyulafehérvár in Transylvania - which all mean "white castle".
Exactly! Thanks for adding this wider context! This story is parallel to multiple "New towns" all over the world.
Other cities in Portugal can be seen here: ua-cam.com/play/PLmAbjfPLOvc329zEIC8eWw-WY4sadQ491.html
Very interesting! For some reason, the channel is very hard to find through search by name, even though I have been subscribed for a long time. Perhaps if I write more comments, youtube will learn to show it to me :)
Unfortunately, it takes time and a lot of effort to make a searchable channel. Thanks for your interest and support!
How long did it take you to circumnavigate Portugal?
Thank you for asking, Lori! We spent in Portugal the time of our son's school winter holidays. We arrived on December 27, 2017, and left on January 11, 2018. Because the time was limited, we explored several places in a day. For example, Idanha-a-Velha was visited on January 1 among six other towns seen on that day. So, it might take quite a bit of time to share all the impressions -:)
@@foreign_visitors_view805 What an exciting family adventure!!!
I saw your UA-cam channel, your content is very good but your subscriber views are very low. I see your videos have SEO issues. SEO solutions can increase your channel's subscriber views and your channel will appear on UA-cam's top. Let me know if you need any help.
I a sephardi from London travelled from Lisbon with friends to be in Belmonte for the day o f the dedication of Beit Eliyahu synagogue in Belmonte.For me it was a deeply touching visit being there for such a sacred occasion.
Thank you for sharing this!
Templar was the biggest terrorist organization at their time.
Probably, just like all other crusaders.
10:50 "The original Templar structure" in Monsanto was itself built on top of the original pre-Roman _Castro,_ which the Romans built an _Opiddum_ over, only for the Suebi and Visigoth to occupy it until the Muslims took it from them, before finally D. Afonso Henriques gave it to the Templars, so, no harm done there that somebody else came along and used the stones, the original Lusitani structure was long gone by then but not the people. Great video!
Thank you for this valuable addition!

I’m very proud to be Portuguese from a nation born for Christ to spread out the true gospel of his true church the Catholic Church where Jesus is the corner stone of the first rock given to Simon Peter to built materially speaking but the connection is the holy Eucharist where the heavens and earth meet, all glory and honor is yours my Jesus you’re the truth the light and the way to the fathers house, praise to you lord Jesus Christ,king of endless Glory 🙏❤️🙌🇵🇹🇺🇸
This is one of the most interesting and charming videos about Portugal that I've seen in a long time, because you actually took trips off the beaten tracks, outside touristy areas and cities. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ from a Portuguese digital nomad currently in Reggio Calabria.
Wow, thank you!
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Beautiful place. Just Gorgeous. That massive granite Cathedral in the Historical centre of the city,its breathtaking. PS: Spain didint "gifted" Brasil to Portugal,because the King D.Joao ll already knew that Brasil was there,when they signed the treated. In the map of the "Tratado de Tordesilhas" in 1494, you can see perfectly the Land that its called Brasil today. Thats why D.Joao ll insisted in changing the line of separation,and thus increasing the distance where the Portuguese Captains could go. To make sure the land that already was knew by Portuguese Sailors,belong to Portuguese Domain,in a short time. And in the 1st of April of 1500,Pedro Álvares Cabral, officialy "Discovers" Brasil. And the rest is history.
Many thanks for these additional details of the story!
I m fron Bragança but l live in Madrid. Portuga🇵🇹 is beautiful and Spain 🇪🇸 too.
My city 🗿🍷
A lovely video. Feels like a tour guide is telling about the history of the city while on a walking\driving tour through the city. Would love to visit Portugal sometime...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Now that is one fine gentleman behind the microphone! ... What do you mean I'm blowing my own trumpet?

Reminds me that sometimes it makes sense to explore beforehand, exactly which sights it would be interesting to see in a place. I totally share the habit of not doing that as well!
Unfortunately, even if you have a plan of how to explore the territory, afterwards you find out many more details of what was there.
👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Thanks for your attention!
For those who know, how's my Shadiversity impression? 🤔
