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.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Entre rios e serras

Compares three ways to use water

Cavez · landscape described in 1758

A river that moved but did not water

In 1758, the Tâmega was described in Cavez as a caudal river throughout the year, of particularly strong current in winter. It had dams, canals and cereal mills. On the banks, the report pointed to cultivated areas, olive groves and trees that supported vineyards. Despite this presence in agricultural life, the vicar stated that the river did not water the fields of the parish: it ran too deep to allow levadas. It's an important difference between having water nearby and being able to drive it to a plot. The description shows how the relief conditioned the uses of water at that time; it does not characterize the current irrigation.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. It makes three columns: Cavez, Bucos and Alvite.
  2. After reading the related stories, note where water, mills or water retention appear.
  3. Emphasize a difference and write the explanation given by the document. Do not make it a description of the present.

It works with the accounts of 1758; the result is a historical comparison.
