The Municipality of Aljezur will present at 3pm on Friday January 23 in the Grand Hall of the City Hall the “Book of Prestige, Aljezur, the heart of the Costa Vicentina”.

It describes the Camara’s jurisdiction through the publication of documents and records that preserve and perpetuate the history of the area.

This is the book of Aljezur, the result of a long photographic survey, conducted over the past four years; a project full of strong emotions and natural sensations that reflect the essence of Aljezur.

In recent years we have worked hard and diligently to identify, register and make known, the nature and personality past and current of the entire municipality of Aljezur: history and geography; natural heritage – landscape / nature / beaches; historical and archaeological heritage; gastronomy; traditions.

We have created a highly visual object through photographs, graphics and text, all linked in inseparable parts. The image to make the synthesis of a single municipality, disclosing it in a careful way. The decorative elements of the Foral de Aljezur, granted by King Manuel I on June 1, 1504, inspired the graphic design of this book. The elements were reinterpreted, so they now reflect the contemporary municipality. Likewise, the techniques and materials chosen seek to convey quality, innovation and the robust essence of the area.

This is a publication of the Municipality of Aljezur, Designed and Produced by 1000olhos – Image and Communication. Photography by John Mariano and the text by John Paul Sacadura.
