1. Stairs leading up to the Monsanto Castle: A Journey Through Time in the Historic Village of Monsanto, Portugal The enchanting image of the Stairs leading up to the Monsanto Castle (Castelo de Monsanto) in the historic village of Monsanto, Portugal, invites us on a journey through time. Perched atop a granite mountain in the Beira Baixa region, this medieval fortress stands proudly against the sky, a testament to the rich history of this magical place. The castle, a National Monument of Portugal, has been a strategic stronghold since the 13th century, withstanding various invasions and wars. Its rugged location, nestled among the boulders and cliffs, made it an ideal defensive position. The winding staircase, carved into the mountain, is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the people who built it. As we ascend the stairs, each step brings us closer to the heart of this historic village. The cobblestone streets, lined with traditional houses made of granite, offer a glimpse into the past. The village, with its labyrinthine layout, seems to defy gravity, clinging precariously to the mountain. The Stairs leading up to the Monsanto Castle are more than just a means of access; they are a symbol of the resilience and determination of the people who have called this place home for centuries. The journey up the stairs is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that awaits at the top. This stunning photograph, captured by Danita Delimont, transports us to a world of medieval wonder and natural beauty. The castle, the village, and the mountains all come together in perfect harmony, creating a scene that is both breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Whether you're an history buff, a nature lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the world around us, this image is sure to leave a lasting impression.
