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.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Between rivers and mountains

Sits the municipality in four directions

Geographical framework

The Tâmega draws the limit

The Tâmega accompanies much of the south and southeast border of Cabeceiras. To the east, the municipal geographical presentation mentions the Bessa River. The water thus helps to locate the territory, along with the mountains of the north and west. On the south side, the neighboring municipalities are Celorico and Mondim of Basto; this is Ribeira de Pena. These references allow you to start reading the map before moving on to the bridges, fields and network of tributaries. To complete this orientation, look to the other sides: Montalegre and Boticas to the north, Vieira from Minho to the northwest and Fafe to the west. Cabreira and Barroso border the north; the mountain range of Lameira, the west. The administrative limit and the water network are two different ways of reading the same territory: now it follows the tributaries to see where the water continues.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Draws a rose from the simple winds, with north, south, spring and west.
  2. Places the Tâmega south and southeast, the Bessa the spring and the mountains on the sides indicated by the text.
  3. Opens the river network and compares: what are the boundaries of the territory and what are water connections?
