  • Grave near Santiago . Spain . The WAY OF SAINT JAMES or CAMINO DE SANTIAGO following the French Route, between Saint Jean Pied de Port and Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, SPAIN. Tradition says that the body and head of St. James, after his execution circa. 44 AD, was taken by boat from Jerusalem to Santiago de Compostela. The Cathedral built to keep the remains has long been regarded as important as Rome and Jerusalem in terms of Christian religious significance, a site worthy to be a pilgrimage destination for over a thousand years. In addition to people undertaking a religious pilgrimage, there are many travellers and hikers who nowadays walk the route for non-religious reasons: travel, sport, or simply the challenge of weeks of walking in a foreign land. In Spain there are many different paths to reach Santiago. The three main ones are the French, the Silver and the Coastal or Northern Way. The pilgrimage was named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1993. When there is a Holy Compostellan Year (whenever July 25 falls on a Sunday; the next will be 2010) the Galician government's Xacobeo tourism campaign is unleashed once more. Last Compostellan year was 2004 and the number of pilgrims increased to almost 200.000 people.

  • Diogo Alves head preserved in formalin. Since its foundation, the city of Lisbon had problems with the supply of drinking water to the population. In order to solve this problem, in 1731 King John V begins the contruction of the long-touted "Aguas Livres Aqueduct" wich has its construction completed in 1748, from this moment Lisbon would have 3 times more water than previously available.<br />
The aqueduct extends over 14,174 meters and consists of 127 arches along its route. Of all the arches, the most known is the one in the valley of Alcantara, the Arco Grande, is 65 meters high and is the largest pointed arch in the world.<br />
The other reason that made the Aqueduct famous is to have been the stage of nineteenth century's most famous serial killer in Portugal, Diogo Alves. Born in Spain, came to live in Lisbon at a very early age, known as the "Assassino do Aqueduto das Aguas Livres" or also "Pancadas". Diogo Alves is thought to have robbed and thrown from the Arco Grande area more than seventy people. No one ever found out how he got the key to enter the aqueduct and commit the crimes.<br />
Diogo Alves was convicted and hanged in 1841. His head was stored in formalin at the time so that medicine could studie his and be able to characterize the mind of a criminal.<br />
In 1911 is presented to the public the film "Os crimes de Diogo Alves" the first Portuguese fictional film. 15/01/2012 NO SALES IN PORTUGAL

  • Diogo Alves head preserved in formalin. Since its foundation, the city of Lisbon had problems with the supply of drinking water to the population. In order to solve this problem, in 1731 King John V begins the contruction of the long-touted "Aguas Livres Aqueduct" wich has its construction completed in 1748, from this moment Lisbon would have 3 times more water than previously available.<br />
The aqueduct extends over 14,174 meters and consists of 127 arches along its route. Of all the arches, the most known is the one in the valley of Alcantara, the Arco Grande, is 65 meters high and is the largest pointed arch in the world.<br />
The other reason that made the Aqueduct famous is to have been the stage of nineteenth century's most famous serial killer in Portugal, Diogo Alves. Born in Spain, came to live in Lisbon at a very early age, known as the "Assassino do Aqueduto das Aguas Livres" or also "Pancadas". Diogo Alves is thought to have robbed and thrown from the Arco Grande area more than seventy people. No one ever found out how he got the key to enter the aqueduct and commit the crimes.<br />
Diogo Alves was convicted and hanged in 1841. His head was stored in formalin at the time so that medicine could studie his and be able to characterize the mind of a criminal.<br />
In 1911 is presented to the public the film "Os crimes de Diogo Alves" the first Portuguese fictional film. 15/01/2012 NO SALES IN PORTUGAL
