Forno do Povo de Travassos da Chã

Many years ago, community ovens Barroso were covered with thatch (rye straw). With use, the coverage frequently, and also the burning homes in villages where they were, because the fire was spreading and burned down the houses next door, running the settlements a high risk of widespread fire, what I think has happened a few times. For this reason, at some point began to cover the ovens with slabs of granite. Even though it was work hard to perform, soon found to be the compensating results. Today, community ovens are important heritage of the region of Barroso.
