Two ways to count
Cunhas · heritage and legends in the municipal guide
A village, a manor house and two legends
The municipal village guide highlights a compact group of old houses and the Teixeiras Pereiras manor house in Cunhas. This is a reference to the village’s architecture, without any indication of access to the building’s interior. The same guide tells two legends: one links the name Cunhas to a soldier called Cunha de Pau, associated with fighting the Moors; the other says that Saint Senhorinha once had a house in the village. These are stories from popular memory. The publication does not present them as proven events or enable a house belonging to the saint to be located.
Vamos experimentar?
- He writes two titles on a sheet: referred heritage and told legend.
- Distribute for them the elements of this story.
- Choose one of the legends and imagine an illustration, identifying it as your creation inspired by the narrative.
It distinguishes the oral tradition of a proven event; the design does not reconstruct a historical building.
