Executive summary by darmansjah
During the ownership of Queen Santa Isabel, who died here in
1336, Estremoz became one of the main political centres of that reign, offering
advice to important figures and being the private stage for royal politics
during the end of the first dynasty. At the beginning of the twentieth century
the grouping of the castle, the village walls, the so called Torre das Couraças
(Towers of Armour) and the Queen Santa Chapel were classified as a National
Monument since 1910.
The Pousada of
Estremoz is situated in a privileged place, as is the Castle Estremoz. It is an
authentic museum which has a range of antic furniture, wall tapestries, iron
decorative pieces and porcelain from other times.
D. Dinis ordered
the construction of this building for his wife the queen Santa Isabel, which
has given its name to the Pousada. Placed in the old city, this was the stage of
battles, love and treason.
This luxury hotel
in Estremoz offers from its gardens and pool, a magnificent panoramic view of
Estremoz and the Alentejo plain.
The Pousada’s 29
rooms are spacious and worthy of royalty with beautiful canopy beds which
invite you to stay for a relaxing night.
