In the vicinity of our property, you'll find the Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Paz, a place of deep devotion from 1917 until the 50th Anniversary of the Apparitions in 1967. This sanctuary attracted the first crowds of devotees soon after reports were published in local newspapers, even before news of the Fátima apparitions. After decades of fervent devotion, an image was finally authorized for veneration at the site of the apparitions in the 1960s. In addition to the sanctuary, our region offers the Quartz Museum, where visitors can explore the area's rich mineral wealth. The charming village of Ponte da Barca boasts historical landmarks, including the impressive Lindoso Castle. Nature enthusiasts can discover hidden waterfalls of unparalleled beauty, providing a unique experience of serenity and awe. A market with Pombaline architecture and the Pillory of Ponte da Barca are other highlights that showcase the rich cultural and historical heritage of this region.
