Abstract(s)
Tomando como pretexto a publicação de dois documentos gráficos relativos ao esquecido Hisn de Coina-a-Velha (S. Lourenço de Azeitão), os autores sintetizam as informações disponíveis sobre esta fortificação medieval, no seu percurso islâmico e cristão. Apesar de os testemunhos de ocupação serem mais remotos, a estrutura arquitectónica revela-nos um castelo erguido pelas forças muçulmanas, por volta do século IX ou X, que sobreviveu depois de ter sido incorporada no espaço do reino cristão. Os derradeiros eventos militares ocorreram em 1184 e 1191, ambos com duras consequências na fortificação, a qual deve ter sido definitivamente abandonada nos inícios do século XIII.

The last military events occurred in 1184 and 1191, both with harsh consequences on the fortification, which must have been definitively abandoned in the early 13th century.
