In 1653 was built the first chapel, now the parish church. This granite parish church, located at the centre of the village, is of considerable architectural splendour and its altarpiece is the statue of Nossa Senhora da Assun\u00e7\u00e3o. This ancient sculpture was exhibited a few years ago at the Guarda Museum as the most perfect and valuable of the surrounding parishes.ITs heritage also includes the Chapel of M\u00e1rtir S. Sebasti\u00e3o, whose figure is particularly revered during August, when a religious celebration is held in his honour, with the presence of many devoted immigrants.We can also find granite crosses spread throughout the village: the Senhor do Calv\u00e1rio (Lord of Calvary) and small marked stones (Alminhas) featuring a single cross.The patrimony of this parish also includes the parish council building, the elementary school and the Museu de Tecelagem (Weaving Museum). The former weaving factory holds a collection of weaving-related items including traditional handlooms which were once used to manufacture wool blankets. The museum is an interesting educational and exhibiting facility which is well worth visiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria_ponto_interesse":[444],"duracao":[],"estacao_do_ano":[],"grupo_de_viagem":[],"tipo_de_experiencia":[236,307],"class_list":["post-19529","ponto_de_interesse","type-ponto_de_interesse","status-publish","hentry","categoria_ponto_interesse-localities","tipo_de_experiencia-heritage","tipo_de_experiencia-routes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
