The sacred image of the chapel is that of the Virgin with the Child in her arms, standing on a tribune with a star and the phrase of the Litany of Our Lady: "Stela Matutina" - "Morning Star". It is the invocation of the people who work in the field and who regulate their life by the planet Venus that the town calls Star of the Morning or Boieira.

Visit the Ponsul River - Low Scales
The Ponsul River is a tributary of the right bank of the Tagus, and rises in the Ramiro Range, at an altitude of 650 m, in the county of Idanha-a-Nova. It is noted as one of the main feeding sites of Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) in the region. This bird, which unlike the white stork is very elusive and rare, even having the status of vulnerable in Portugal, feeds on crustaceans, amphibians and small fish.
The River Ponsul crosses the Municipality of Castelo Branco, and the Parish of Escalos de Baixo where it leaves magnificent landscapes.

Visit the Museum of Textiles - Cebolais de Cima
The Museum of Textiles, located in the Parish of Cebolais de Cima, is an equipment that aims to transmit to visitors knowledge about industrial and technical heritage of the textile sector.
The Museum of Textiles is constituted by a museum space where mechanisms have been preserved that contemplate the production phases related to carding and spinning. It also includes an experimental space, which houses an audiovisual room and mechanisms related to the weaving process. Between these two floors, we find a third intermediate space, called "memory space", which has the objective of presenting taxes to the workers and entrepreneurs responsible for the creation of this industry.
It also includes a manual weaving workshop and a business archive.
The Museum of Textiles offers visitors knowledge about the process of producing textiles. Here it is possible to understand the respective mechanisms in operation, from the carding process to weaving, the evolution of these techniques over time, as well as their territorial and historical framework. It brings together the necessary features to offer visitors an active, motivating and unique experience.
