[quote]
You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain
proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with
the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable
your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a
chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable
amount of time – normally a few weeks – in which to check on your
cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily
disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the
listing.

Because of the effort required to maintain a geocache, we ask that you
place physical caches in your usual caching area and not while on a
vacation or business trip. It is best when you live within a
manageable distance from the cache placements to allow for return
visits. Geocaches placed during travel may not be published unless you
are able to demonstrate an acceptable maintenance plan, which must
allow for a quick response to reported problems. An acceptable
maintenance plan might include the username of a local geocacher who
will handle maintenance issues in your absence.[/quote]

Como owner, se tiver planos para recolocar a cache, por favor,
contacte-me por

Lembro que a eventual reactivação desta cache passará pelo mesmo
processo de análise como se fosse uma nova cache, com todas as
implicações que as guidelines actuais indicam.

Se no local existe algum container, por favor recolha-o a fim de
evitar que se torne lixo (geolitter).

Obrigado

Porta de Santa Catarina

 

Their construction was begun in 1645 under the direction of the Jesuit, João Pascácio Cosmander.
It is typical of the border fortifications constructed during the Restaoration wars, has various bulwarks and four entrance gates in military Baroque styles. The defence system of Vauban was also used here.
The Porta de Santa Catarina, like the Porta de Santo António, has a niche for devotions to its patron saint. Of special interest is its rounded military sentry box, shaped like a cannon and ennobled with the royal coat of arms of Portugal.
