A village located on the hillside of the mountain, whose name is due to an enormous rock, located at the mountain top, inaccesible in the words of the population. In Penalonga there are three chapels, the chapel of Our Lady of Livração, the patron saint, that of Saint Ana and that of Saint João, located in the middle of a corn field. Several of its rural houses have sun clocks, namely the Casa da Ponte (Bridge House), with its interior yard and the espigueiros (small cereal warehouses).
