EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the enchanting beauty of the 9th century village of Marvao, with its rich Arab origins, nestled in Portugal's picturesque landscape. The image showcases the village's remarkable fortifications and ramparts that stand as a testament to its historical significance. Perched atop a hilltop in the Serra de Sao Mamede Natural Park, Marvao offers a grand view of the surrounding mountains and countryside. As dusk settles over this fortified village, it transforms into an ethereal sight, with its old town illuminated by the warm glow of streetlights. The tranquility and serenity exuded by Marvao are palpable in this photograph. The peaceful ambiance invites visitors to take leisurely strolls along footpaths that wind through narrow streets lined with charming houses. This quiet haven is steeped in history and heritage, making it a must-visit tourist attraction for those seeking to immerse themselves in Portugal's cultural tapestry. As night falls, Marvao becomes even more captivating. Its skyline adorned with ancient architecture creates an unforgettable silhouette against the backdrop of a vibrant sunset. From one of its belvederes or miradors, one can witness nature merging seamlessly with human ingenuity. Mauricio Abreu has masterfully captured not just an image but also the essence of Marvao—a place where time seems to stand still amidst breathtaking landscapes and where peace reigns supreme.
