São Gião
A very old village, located on the foothills of the Estrela Mountain, with a vestige of a roman road. The mother church, known as Catedral das Beiras (Beiras Cethedral), a rather large temple, with golden carvings, a ceiling with 102 paintings and religious objects stands out. Nearby, the "Curral dos Romanos", also known as Sobreda dolmen (Public Interest Construction), an interesting olive oil press of the Middle Ages, at Rio de Mel and the Penedo da Moura (Moura Rock), a natural cave, are worth a visit.
