However, the industry has had a great increase in recent years. In terms of heritage, there are several megalithic monuments and also signs of the Roman presence in the municipality, like the Marmoiral de Boavista and the Pia dos Mouros (Moors Sink), a Spanish-Roman tomb. Originally called simply Paiva, it was only one century and a half ago that it was renamed Castelo de Paiva.
