Description
Algarve, São Bartolomeu de Messines, Benaciate situated just 10 minutes by car from Algoz, this rustic plot of land, with a triangular shape, completely flat configuration, fenced, with olive trees and good tarred access.
On the opposite side of the road there is an EDP pole, so you can request a connection.
For water, you can request the installation of an artesian well or negotiate a paid sharing of water with your neighbor.
About São Bartolomeu de Messines is a village of Arab origin, which already existed in 1189, when the Crusaders and the troops of D. Sancho I conquered Silves.
At that time, it was called Mussiene or Adh-Dhakira Assania, which proves that the village was properly structured.
Unfortunately, of the following centuries we know nothing. The medieval church that existed here did not survive to this day and even the locality seems to have lost importance, probably due to its interior and peripheral location in relation to the main centers of power in the late-medieval Algarve.
Only in the first decades of the 16th century can we resume the discourse in relation to its mother church. At a still somewhat uncertain moment in the reign of D. Manuel, or already that of D. João III, but which may well correspond to the 20's and 30's, the temple was the object of a radical reformulation, a campaign that, far from being limited to an average aesthetic update, was responsible for an exquisite, original and unparalleled work in the entire Algarve province.
A good business opportunity. We can schedule the visit.
