Eboracum Romano: Fundamentos do passado

Em setembro, dê um passo atrás até à era romana, quando Eboracum, como era conhecida York, era uma fortaleza movimentada do Império Romano. As ruínas das muralhas romanas da cidade, a Torre Multangular e o Museu do Exército de York oferecem vislumbres da vida dos soldados e cidadãos que outrora percorriam estas ruas. Explore o Museu dos Banhos Romanos, que revela a luxuosa cultura balnear que prosperou aqui há séculos atrás.

O mistério da torre de Clifford

À medida que o mês de setembro avança, aventure-se na Clifford's Tower, um marco icónico que carrega nas suas paredes histórias de triunfo e tragédia. Esta torre medieval, empoleirada no topo de um monte, testemunhou o fluxo e refluxo da história, desde as suas origens como uma torre de menagem normanda até ao seu papel na história judaica durante o século XII. A sua presença imponente oferece vistas panorâmicas da cidade, e as suas pedras sussurram histórias de luta e resistência.

Os Shambles: Uma maravilha medieval

Wander the narrow lanes of The Shambles, a street that has retained its mediaeval charm through the ages. In September, the warm hues of autumn complement the timber-framed buildings that lean precariously over the cobbled street. This well-preserved corner of York takes you back to the Middle Ages when it was a bustling marketplace and a haven for merchants.

Catedral de York: Um testamento ao tempo

setembro é uma altura oportuna para visitar a York Minster, uma catedral que é um testemunho da história espiritual e arquitetónica da cidade. Sendo a maior catedral medieval do Norte da Europa, a sua grandiosidade gótica é um espetáculo a contemplar. Suba à Torre Central para ser recompensado com vistas panorâmicas da cidade e explore os intrincados vitrais que contam histórias de fé e devoção.

Tesouros escondidos nos museus

If you’re a history buff, York is the perfect place for you. Not only is the city itself historic and full of things to explore, but it also is home to several museums that should be on your itinerary. York’s museums hold a treasure trove of artefacts that offer insights into the city’s history. The York Castle Museum, situated within the former debtors’ prison, recreates the past through its immersive exhibits. The Yorkshire Museum showcases archaeological finds, from prehistoric artefacts to Roman relics. September’s gentle ambiance is perfect for a leisurely exploration of these repositories of history.
