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.

An activity to try at your own pace, without collecting specimens.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Between rivers and mountains

Water that moves and water that is distributed

Saint Nicholas · hydraulic heritage inventoryed in 2008

The Peio made flour too

The Levada do Casal record notes water drawn from the Peio near Ponte do Gado, in Gondarém. The inventory describes five mills along the channel. It is a record of water-powered heritage, not confirmation that the mills operate or are publicly accessible today. The survey of 26 February 2008 identifies a channel in natural ground and two shared users: Casa do Casal and Quinta do Rapazinho, the latter with less irrigation time. It also describes the route near the Levada de Bouças and a boundary marker in Sendim placed to settle a disagreement over use. The channel carried water, but its use also depended on agreements between people.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Draw a channel and five mill symbols, such as inventory scheme of 2008.
  2. Add two cards to Casa do Casal and Quinta do Boyinho, without assigning watering durations that the reading does not provide.
  3. It distinguishes the physical elements of the channel of agreements between users.

Proposal on paper or on screen, from reading and its sources. It does not require visit, collection of objects or confirmation of current conditions.
