The use of the rocks of Marv\u00e3o as a refuge for villages devastated by invading peoples, as a watchtower or as a strategic point in strictly military terms, will date, at least, from the Roman period. We can refer to the following fully documented historical facts:<\/p>\n

Dinis takes over Marv\u00e3o<\/strong> Crisis of 1383-1385<\/strong> War of the Succession of Spain, 1704-1712<\/strong> Seven Years’ War, 1756-1762<\/strong> Testimony to the strategic importance of the Square, 1796 War of Oranges, 1801<\/strong> Peninsular Wars, 1807-1811<\/strong> Liberal Wars, 1832-1834<\/strong>
\nIf in the century. X, what today is Marv\u00e3o, was identified by the Cordovan historian Isa Ibn \u00c1hmad ar-R\u00e1zi, by Fortaleza de Amaia and by Fortaleza de Amaia-o-Monte, among other designations, this raises the hypothesis that there would be a fortification at the top of the hill that would have served the city of Ammaia, founded in the century. I, during its existence.<\/p>\n
\nIn the century. X, Marv\u00e3o was identified, by the aforementioned Cordovan historian and in addition to the designations already mentioned, by Monte de Amaia and by Amaia de Ibn Maru\u00e1n. Ibn Maru\u00e1n, from his full name ‘Abd ar-Rah.ma:n Ibn Marwa: n Ibn Yu: nus al-Jill\u00ed: qi (Ab-spill son of Marv\u00e3o son of I\u00fanece – ie Johannes-Jo\u00e3o – Galician), was a muladi of noble emeritense strain that was celebrated in the last quarter of the century. IX as a rebel and warlord against the Emirate
\nof Cordoba. The Ammaia Fortress then served as a strategic refuge for the (re) founder of Badajoz when, in this capital, he felt threatened. So it was in the year 884 when the troops of the Emir Muh\u00e2mmad approached, threatening to destroy the city and flee to their Mount: Marv\u00e3o.<\/p>\n
\nIn his campaign of 1160\/1166, the first king of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, will have conquered Marv\u00e3o, although it is not known if definitely, taking into account the counter-offensive of Almansor, between 1190\/1191, up to the Tagus line .
\nCharter of 1226
\nIn 1226, D. Sancho II attributed to Marv\u00e3o his first charter, one of the first royal charters in Alentejo.<\/p>\n
\nThe strategic importance of Marv\u00e3o – and other Castles of the Streak – led D. Dinis to dispute it with his brother D. Afonso, in 1299, taking possession of the fortification.<\/p>\n
\nTaking over the Castle by party forces of Mestre de Avis, being mayor Fr. Pedro \u00c1lvaro Pereira, Prior do Crato, frontier of Alentejo and mayor of Portalegre, after a close fight that lasted half a day.
\nWar of the Restoration, 1641-1668
\nFrom the restoration of independence, the old medieval fortification was rehabilitated in the face of new war technologies, remaining bastioned in sensitive areas and the Castle becoming its citadel. During the war it plays an important role in the defense of Alto Alentejo. There were two major attacks on the fortress: in 1641 and 1648, the latter under the command of the Marquis of Laga\u00f1es.<\/p>\n
\nAfter the fall of Castelo de Vide, on June 24, 1704, Pra\u00e7a de Marv\u00e3o was surrendered without a battle. Later, having the population, the French governor of the paisanos ordered to arrest the population, to hang, for example, some popular ones, and to send others under arrest to Castile, including the friars of the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Estrela. The square was subsequently taken over by the Portuguese army commanded by the Count of S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o. In front of the Bulwark of Portas da Vila, the attack by the Portuguese infantry commanded by the Count of Coculim was distinguished.<\/p>\n
\nIn November 1762, Marv\u00e3o suffered a surprise attack from the Spanish army during the last operations.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Lieutenant Colonel Engenheiro, Tom\u00e1s de Vila Nova and Sequeira: His position on the Fronteira line makes him important for his defense, because from Valencia de Alc\u00e2ntara or Albuquerque to Portalegre, to Crato, to Castelo de Vide and also to Ribatejo , there is no other road where artillery can be driven than that of Porto da Espada, which is visible in front of the square in what they call the Prado, and it is also possible to take artillery against the same square.<\/p>\n
\nPra\u00e7a de Marv\u00e3o suffers several attacks, always resisting.<\/p>\n
\nOn the 25th of June 1808, the square, ruled by the French, suffered a victorious assault by a corps of Valencian volunteers (Valencia de Alc\u00e2ntara) led by D. Mateus Monge. The Spaniards were instigated by the fearless clerk of the general of the village (or Ju\u00eds de Fora?) Of Marv\u00e3o, Joaquim Ant\u00f3nio da Cruz, who had taken refuge in Spain after his unsuccessful attempt to uphold the population. The assault was commanded by Spanish Lieutenant-Colonel D. Vicente Perez and by Lieutenant-Colonel graduated from militias, D. Pedro de Magalh\u00e3es, son of Portuguese architect Teodoro Magalh\u00e3es.<\/p>\n
\nIn June \/ July 1833, Pra\u00e7a de Marv\u00e3o, commanded by the Miguelista Colonel Francisco da Silva Lobo, resists the surrender summonses made by the constitutional guerrilla, in turn commanded by the former colonel of the Spanish army, D. Manuel Martini.
