In June 2020, the Municipality announced the assignment of names to ruins of the village to remember figures of the history of the Monastery. Among them were the Abbot Diogo of Murça, the notchmaker Vilaça and Gueda Mendes, associated with the offer of the medieval chalice. The same decision recovered ancient toponyms from places of Refojos. The toponym thus approximates two memories: people who marked the heritage and names that the inhabitants used to recognize their places.
