Visit the Shrine of Our Lady of the Assumption - Rebordãos



The Pelourinho de Rebordãos located in the place of Pelourinho, in the parish of Rebordãos, was built in the Middle Ages.
The steps, primitively in shale, were redone in granite. The shaft, decorated with hemispheres, is octagonal and supports a cubically shaped capital with slightly concave edges. A small pyramid can be seen above the capital.
This Pelourinho is classified as Property of Public Interest.

Visit the Castle of Tourão - Rebordãos

The Castle of Tourão, located in the Parish of Rebordãos, is located in a small spire in spur, in the hillside and in the northeast limit of the mountain range of the Nogueira. The first occupation of the place will have been a small fortified settlement, of the Final Bronze or Iron Age, of which there are scarce vestiges.
The second phase of occupation corresponds to the construction of a small medieval rock castle, whose occupation extends to the modern era. From this rocky castle there are still evident traces of structures, which, though heavily overturned, are still preserved in the foundations and some walls of considerable dimensions.
