Edifício da Geradora

One of the pioneers of the country's electrification examples from hydropower. On the outside of the building, above the River, there is still a high brick chimney, which was once connected to a steam engine. In that place there was the mill of Pedro de Évora, a Mills belonging to the order of Christ. The city of Tomar was originally lit by 150 16 lamps, candles lit since midnight at dusk, except on moonlit nights, in which the intensity of the lamps was halved.
