In the year 1501, the 4th “Duque de Bragança”, D. Jaime, ordered the construction of what is today the magnificent building that occupies the “Terreiro do Paço”. The building would later be known as the residence of Portuguese Royal Family until the year 1910. Its imposing façade of 110 meters dominates the entire square.

Vila Viçosa

Vila Viçosa's Castle

Its construction was ordered By King D.Dinis on the last decade of the 13th century. It’s a remarkable monument that celebrates different construction phases, from the medieval era until the renaissance era. The armed fortress, built in the 16th century, was fundamental to defend Vila Viçosa against the Spanish attacks during the “War of Restoration” on the 17th century. Inside its walls we recommend the visit to Hunting and Archeological Museums, as well as the Sanctuary of “Nossa Senhora da Conceição”

Raquel de Castro Marble Museum

Inaugurated in the year 2000, in Vila Viçosa’s old train station, the marble museum is now located next to the “Gradinha” quarry (on the exit to the town of Borba). Explored for over 2000 years, the marble quarries from the region of Vila Viçosa, Borba and Estremoz, are distinguished by the superior quality of their ornamental stones, which are exported all over the world. “Marmol” (meaning white stone or quality stone) was the name given by the romans to this noble stone. White, pink, brown. Imagined and created by Mother Nature over 500 million years ago, the marble is an element of refinement and luxury that you may find, for example, on the façade of the remarkable “Paço Ducal” of Vila Viçosa.

Borba Winery: A toast to Alentejo

Founded in 1955, the Borba Winery gathers around 300 winegrowers that cultivate around 2000 acres of vineyards. It was one of the first wineries to be founded in Alentejo, with the incentive of the old “Wine National Council”, back when the wine sector wasn’t so important to the economy as it is today. The brand “Borba” is one of the most important brands in Portugal.

Bicycle and Walking Tours

Bicycles. Sports. Fun. A perfect way to explore this amazing territory. At Alentejo Marmoris Hotel & Spa ***** we propose to you two different options: several trails to be performed on foot or by bicycle to the nearby towns of: Borba, Alandroal, Estremoz, Redondo…

One of the main suggestions: cycling between marble quarries. Some of them are still being explored and are still funding the economy of this region, while others have turned into beautiful artificial lakes. Let us go and explore the “Blue Lagoon”?   On our way to it we may find the beautiful landscapes of the Alentejo hills and plains. On the final trail, with some luck, we may find a herd of magnificent Portuguese horses.

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sanctuary of "Nossa Senhora da Conceição"

In the 25th of March of 1646, “Nossa senhora da Conceição” is proclaimed the Patron Saint (or Queen) of Portugal by King D. João IV. Nowadays, thousands of pilgrims still visit the church of the Patron Saint in a pilgrimage celebrated on the 8th of December. The origin of this church is medieval even though it was renovated in the 16th century. The pope João Paulo II was here on a pilgrimage in 1982.
