Description
Machine-translated from Portuguese.
The route begins at Largo de Sta Margariga, next to the Parish Church of Fataunços. It is a shaded route that follows, at various points, the Ribamá stream. Alongside it, mills, waterwheels, bridges, and weirs feature prominently in the landscape. Also worth noting is one of the most beautiful sections of Roman road from the vast road network built in the area of the civitas of Viseu. But there are many other points of interest you can explore, such as the Lagareta das Pedras Altas, the Areal Anthropomorphic Burial Site, the Chapel of Santo António, and the S. Carlos Square, where you can admire a collection of manor houses, heraldic-blazoned homes, and others built in the noble style using granite of select quality.
