History of Portuguese Architecture

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Portuguese architecture is part of the broader family of European architecture, also known as Western architecture, with Greco-Roman roots and some influences from Islamic and Near Eastern architecture. However, within the Western context, Portuguese architecture has particularities resulting from the adaptation of imported models and their implementation in Portugal with the financial resources available, which were usually more precarious than those of many European countries, despite exceptions during the reigns of King Manuel Iand King John V. In this context, the curricular unit will focus primarily on these particularities, comparing Portuguese examples with those of our Spanish neighbors and others, since we often skip over Spain and seek direct information from other European countries, namely the countries of the Hanseatic League, Italy, France, and Germany, among others.
