    Brand

    Although they were expelled, the Moors left many traces, not only in the language but also in the gastronomy and architecture which is one of Portugal's ex-libris. The originality of the architectural structures and ornaments are typical features of this civilization, as well as the horse shoe arch of Visigothic influence that has become a portuguese hall mark.
