In this small village of shale community life still exists and to testify, nothing better than visiting the community oven. The network design of schist Villages came to invigorate this site, once almost asleep.

It was one of the first villages with register, dated from 1195. Located at the foot of the southerly ladder of Gardunha Sierra, it stands out for its architectonical patrimony: the Town house, pillory, mother-church (where is the reliquary of S. Vicente), Misericórdia church (with the sacra art museum), chapels of Santo António, S. Sebastião and S. Francisco and Nossa Senhora da Orada, Calvary, emblazoned houses, fountain, Town hall and Misericórdia Hospital.
