About
Being part of a series of typically Portuguese remembrance monuments that possibly date back to the 13th century, of which only six examples remain, the Memorial of Alpendorada stands out for its good state of repair. Although it doesn't have any inscriptions, this funerary monument with a double mortuary cavity is known to have been built to pay homage to a knight, as indicated by the sword engraved on the plinth that serves as a base for the arch.
