Cisterna da Vila
This medieval cistern of wealthy proportions dating from the 14th century and is by the door of the hole. Function was to collect and store rainwater and was the main reservoir that supplied the population. In 1950 went on to serve only for domestic watering, given the implementation of the public water supply system, but continues to be a significant architectural testimony of rainwater.
