Forno de Alcobertas

This medieval oven, discovered in the 1950s, served as a communal oven, specifically for baking pottery, tiles, and other utensils. It measures approximately 1.5 meters on each side and has a grate on which the pieces to be fired were placed. The roof, made of tiles and stones, was dismantled once the firing was complete to remove the pieces.
