Fonte da Lameira

This fountain dates from 1875, was commissioned by the municipality of Gavião and intended to be a source of water supply of the population, especially in times of drought. It is said that also served as a meeting point for couples in love, since the girls came to fetch water with the pitcher in the head and their suitors there were waiting.
