Bucos · transport in 1758

A small bridge, a long way

In Casares, a wooden bridge integrated the real road to Braga and communications with Trás-os-Montes, according to the memory of 1758. Before the movement, the vicar defended building it in stone. It was a request, not confirmation of a work. The fountain distinguishes this passage from small walkways made with a wooden beam for pedestrians. Different travessias responded to different uses. The passage wasn't just the village. The vicar describes a public road and very frequented, linking Braga to the term of Basto and Trás-os-Montes. The bridge thus emerges as a local point of a larger network. The recommendation to replace it with chanting shows the author to evaluate a need, besides inventorying what existed. In the same rivers, water moved mills and was used by farmers in the fields. The crossing, grinding and watering appear in the same picture of the territory. A bridge can be read by what it allows to do: reach another place, maintain communication or approximate works separated by water.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Write on a sheet Casares, parish church, Fox and mills, without putting them on a real map.
  2. Connect each name to the need described: crossing, receiving news, cult or grinding.
  3. It distinguishes what the text describes from what it merely proposes, such as the stone bridge.

Scheme of historical relations, without distances or indication of itinerary.

Gondiães e Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

In Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries join the solarengo building highlighted by the Municipality. The set approximates two functions: inhabit and guard the harvest. Instead of looking only at the main house, it is also worth recognizing the importance of agricultural support constructions. The presentation of Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a plateau and mountain landscape, marked by agriculture and pastoral care. The house and the granaries can be read in this work context, without the source detailing the production of each property. The dating of the house is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. This difference must remain visible. The photo accompanying the reading shows the portal; it does not show the three granaries. The asset reference does not confirm access to the set.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.

A proposal to make at your pace, without collecting copies.
