| Ermida de Santa Catarina - [Reguengos de Monsaraz, Évora, Portugal] |  A Ermida de Santa Catarina destaca-se pela sua singular estrutura acastelada, que vários autores atribuem a uma filiação templária, pois segundo alguns registos foi edificada pelos monges-cavaleiros da Ordem do Templo que participaram na reconquista da praça-forte de Monsaraz. Está localizada no lado nascente do sopé da colina, e tem a forma de torre hexagonal com 5,50m X 5,30 m de medidas interiores.
A fachada apresenta um modelo simples, aberto no registo inferior por um portal de moldura recta, sobre o qual foi rasgado um óculo. O espaço da abside é rematado por um conjunto de merlões que forma uma torre, construída já no século XVI. No séc. XVII, provavelmente, foi acrescentado o corpo da nave, construído em alvenaria e com telhado de duas águas.
No interior, a nave apresenta um espaço amplo com arco românico que permite o acesso à abside. Esta é coberta por cúpula ogival, sob a qual foi rasgado um conjunto de arcos de volta perfeita rematados por friso denticulado.
|  The Hermitage of Santa Catarina stands out for its unique castellated structure, which many authors attribute to a Templar affiliation, because according to some records was built by the Temple Order of the Knights-monks who participated in the reconquest of the stronghold of Monsaraz. It is located on the eastern side of the bottom of the hill, and has the form of hexagonal tower with 5.50m X 5.30 m interior measures.
The facade presents a simple model, open in the lower register by a straight frame portal, on which was ripped an oculus. The apse space is topped by a set of battlements that form a tower ever built in the sixteenth century. In the century. XVII was probably added the body of the ship, built in masonry and gabled roof.
Inside, the ship features a large space with Romanesque arch that allows access to the apse. This is covered by ogival dome, under which was torn a set of round arches topped by jagged frieze.
