Marvão
Marvão is a little Portuguese Village in Portalegre district, Alentejo Region.
The name Marvão comes from an arab warrior called "Ibn-Marwan", that died in 889. He was a lider of a movement that decided to fight the Emirs of Córdova and found a sort of independent Kingdom.
This was the place he choose to build his fortress.
Little is known about the early ocupation of this place. Possibly it was a pré-historic fortification.
There are some thesis that state that this place was in a middle of a dispute between Caesar and Pompeus and was conqered by the army of the first one. The interest in the place was due to a Roman road passing nearby connecting Cáceres to Santarem.
There´s not much information in the invasions period of the Suevos, Visigotic, Muslims.
Between 876 and 877 came Ibn Marwan and in the X Century the place was known has Amaia of Ibn Marwan or the Amaia Fortress.
