documented history in the Torre do Tombo






In my post "Torre do Tombo" write I, the oldest document in which the National Archives the Torre do Tombo (Portuguese: Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo) superimposed, namely a document from the year 882, in which a Lusitanian merchant the then Caliph of Córdoba, which included the present territories of Portugal, for permission to ask, in the small town of Penafiel Lardosa in to be able to build a Catholic church.
This request was complied with, and so little time was later in Lardosa the oldest church on Lusitanian soil, and the Moorish period!

Other valuable documents, document and files to be stored at the National Archives are among others:

- the papal bull "Manifestis probatum, from 23 Is dated May 1179, and the Pope Alexander III (Portuguese: Alexandre III) to the Portuguese King Afonso Henriques of Portugal's independence "For ever and irrevocably acknowledges and confirms.

- Dozens of case files from the times of the Inquisition but files also from the time of Salazar's dictatorship

Since many of the original files, Records and documents in the meantime, digitized or recorded on microfilm, many of these unique treasures of each visitor to the National Archives will be adored and admired.
