Fornos da Cal de Paço de Arcos

A set of five stone ovens, with a circular plan and a robust building. The first reference to this set dates back to 1582, when the man in charge of the São Julião works hired brick-layers to make and bake chalk in the ovens. For several centuries, these ovens were an important economic activity in the area.
