Lagoa
Within the town are a number of long buildings with double doors
that open into courtyards, off which are often more than just a
large storeroom with a suitable dwelling. The produce was dependent
on the time of year and could be from carob beans to topsoil vegetable
products. On the outskirts of the town is a co-operative for the
owners of vineyards that still produce a full bodied red wine. The
amount of wine produced has been seriously effected by the demise
of vineyards as over recent years their owners have found a new
pot of gold by selling their land as building plots. The parish
church was inaugurated in 1814 but there is the older church, the
Igreja de Misericórdia that dates from the middle of the 18th
Century. Another building of interest is the Convento do São José
which was built in 1713 and survived the earthquake of 1755. It is
now used by the local Council as a location for art exhibitions and has
a small theatre for cultural events. Inside is a turn-box door which was in
previous times used for passing unwanted babies to the nuns. The mother
would place the baby and any small possessions on a shelf and communicate
through a small aperture with the nun on the other side. The revolving
door delivered the baby to the nuns without the mother having to disclose
her identity. In August of every year an important commercial and rural
produce Fair named Fatacil is held in the town, exhibiting
products from all over Portugal. The occasion provides an excuse
for enjoyment and national bands with their singers entertain the
visitors late into the night.
