Monuments of Portugal

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Monuments of Portugal were constructed throughout the Portuguese territory, and date back to the period of pre-historic settlement of occupation. Subsequently, the region that is today Portugal has been colonized by many civilizations, which have left marks in the territory, constructing markers, defensive structures, homes and places of worship to suit their requirements and means. The formal organization of the Portuguese state resulted in a process to qualify and quantify those structures that have had an intrinsic value to the Portuguese culture. Starting with the Direc o Geral dos Edif cios e Monumentos Nacionais (DGMEN), and later by the Instituto de Gest o do Patrim nio Arquitect nico e Arqueol gico (IGESPAR), the Portuguese government developed a registry of national monuments that includes a rich heritage of historical monuments throughout the country. This is a compilation of those structures that are designated as National Monuments (Portuguese: Monumentos Nacionais) only.
