GC8Z3MN - MIRADOURO DA CASA DO MORGADO (PR11)
Little is known about the history of this house in such a deserted place.
We discovered this place, almost by chance. During the recognition and mapping of the PR11-MAC-ROTAS DAS MATAS, integrated in the ROTAS OF Mação, we gathered a small team of 12 people to come and discover these territories.
According to the local members who accompanied us, this house would have belonged to a family called Morgado. It served as the main residence for the owners of the surrounding land, once fertile.
With the death of the patron of the family, everything was abandoned.
From what is said, the current heirs live in the Proençaça-a-Nova area.
It was also known for Zé da Mó's house. An old hermitage that spent the night here for many years, heading one day to other territories, losing track ...
It is a wonderful view of Foz do Ocreza and its arrival in the Tagus.
Also at the foot of the mountain, the Beira-Baixa Line, passes through here.
