Resumo

Known and feared in the Western world since ancient times, plagues, cyclical and devastating, left deep marks on society and in the memory of their survivors. Medical knowledge didn’t allow for a cure, so rapid escape was the recommended practice. A practice that not all sections of the urban population, those most affected, could carry out. At the first sign of the plague, all those who could do so, left the city for places where the plague had not yet arrived. This is what happened to Prince João, who took refuge in the city of Beja around 1480, fleeing Lisbon. There, he tried to surround himself with all the conditions that would allow him to stop the plague entering Beja, following the example of what was normally done by the urban governments.
