Notes: The existence of the Gate of the Portuguese whose speaks
professor Tom O' Gu�n in his article in the "Annales de la Chaire
d'Urbicandologie" is in fact extremely discussed. According to many researchers and
experts in Obscurology, this gate would not exist. According to Professor O' Gu�n itself
in his article, the existence of this gate would be hypothetical but certain elements
would give reason for thinking that its existence is not chimerical. However, Professor O'
Gu�n takes care well not to quote these mysterious elements.
Last testimony knew concerning
this really mysterious probable Passage place was given by Eduardo de Siza, large
decouvror of Portuguese Passages at the time of the conference on the Obscure Cities in
Co�mbra. According to him, the Gate of the Portuguese would be quite simply the
Saint-Paul church in Macao, of which there remains only the imposing frontage. This
thesis, although tempting since it could be based on many theories such that of the
facadism never could be supported. |
