Blue hour in Mértola

Just back from a short trip to Portugal. Crossing the border from Spain we found ourselves in a different world and time. During Classical Antiquity, Mértola was inhabited by Phoenicians, Carthaginians and finally the Romans, who called it Myrtilis Iulia.The town of Mértola is located on a hill by the Guadiana River, and its strategic location made it an important fluvial commercial port from Classical Antiquity through the period of Islamic domination. Among the vestiges of its past, Mértola boasts the only mediaeval mosque to have survived in Portugal.The most important remnant from the Islamic period of Mértola is its mosque, built in the second half of the 12th century and later turned into a church, but which still preserves many of its original characteristics.

Brigitte, das weiße Gebäude ist sehr dominant im Bild und hat einen bemerkenswerten guten Einfluss auf das gesamte Bild.
