Vilar looks at Beça

The municipal guide of the villages highlights in Vilar the church and the constructions with tops, on a slope facing the landscape of the Beça. The description links built heritage, agriculture, livestock and crafts. Reading this presentation invites you to relate scales: the coverage of a house, the whole village and the valley that opens before it. It is a way to know the territory from the documented elements, not the current confirmation of the conservation of each roof or access to the river. The guide was born from a partnership between Cabeceiras de Basto and Vieira of Minho, under the Interpretation and Animation Center of Serra da Cabreira. His presentation seeks to bring the visitor closer to the villages and people. In Vilar, the landscape is associated with work: fields, animal breeding and handicrafts help to read the place beyond the view over the valley.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Draws three plans: a house, the whole village and the Beça valley.
  2. In each plan, it places an element referred to in the text.
  3. Add agriculture, livestock and crafts to the landscape reading: what questions would you like to explore about these works?

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

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.
