Set not far from the banks of the Guadiana River, where Portugal and Spain meet, lies the historic city of Olivença (or Olivenza). Although Olivença is geographically within Spain today, it has a rich Portuguese heritage that many locals still cherish. Once part of Portugal, Olivença represents a unique blend of cultures, with the ghosts of its Portuguese past whispering through its cobblestone streets, ancient walls, and Gothic architecture. Often referred to as Portugal’s “lost city,” Olivença stands as a reminder of a centuries-old territorial dispute and the intricate, sometimes tangled, histories of the Iberian Peninsula. https://lnkd.in/ey73xKNu

Guide to Philippines' Historic Buildings Introduction The Philippines is home to a rich architectural heritage with numerous historic buildings scattered throughout the country. These buildings reflect the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Filipino architecture over the centuries, from indigenous styles to Spanish colonial, American colonial, and contemporary designs. Spanish Colonial Era Buildings During the Spanish colonial period, which lasted for over 300 years, many churches, forts, and government buildings were constructed across the Philippines.

- The lines of the blueprint foundations of a monastery (of Batalha) as a statement - We address the hypothesis that the Monastery of Batalha, Portugal, can symbolically represent the Portuguese territory through the correspondence between the plan of its foundations and the main rivers and other geographical features on this side of the Iberian Peninsula. We used concepts from Peirce's semiotics to analyze this relationship, suggesting that the monastery would not only be a physical construction, but also a cultural and symbolic element implicitly rooted in Portuguese history and identity. The implications of the veracity of the interpretations presented here could lead, on the one hand, to a reassessment of how architecture is understood in historical contexts, valuing symbolic aspects in the design of buildings and other spaces of a religious nature. On the other, to highlight the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in historical research, highlighting the value of reading and interpreting monuments not only as physical structures, but as objects rich in cultural and historical significance. All this provided by an unknown architect from other times through his vision of a monument, highlighting the idea that the sacred intertwines with the land and the cultural identity of a territory that goes beyond its own, not inherent solely to Portuguese society, but to the people who cohabit it. In short, this recognition could inspire a rediscovery of the meaning of personal religare inserted in an increasingly accelerated urban mundane life, through a broader concept, in which the role of spirituality as an integral part of this cultural heritage is reinforced. All this is only noticeable from above. Contemplate.
