Visiting PIÓDÃO - ARGANIL, COIMBRA, PORTUGAL |4k|

Описание: Piódão is a village nestled in the Serra do Açor on the steep escarpment, with a sinuous and mesh-like layout, it is well-adapted to the roughness of the surrounding space. The pastures of Serra de São Pedro do Açor, filled with springs, attracted Portuguese shepherds who fed their flocks there. In medieval times, a small village formed, which was given the name, Casal Piodam, which later moved to its current location, perhaps due to the establishment of a Cistercian Monastery at that time, of which no traces remain; therefore, placing the village’s founding in the 13th century. This monastery may have been linked to the ancient worship of Santa Maria of the Main Parish Church, common in Cistercian Abbeys. Although there is no memory of this ancient church, the current church was amplified in the 18th century, and remodelled in the 19th, through the initiative and based on the project of Canon Manuel Fernandes Nogueira, who designed a façade suited to the eclectic taste of the time, with a Neo-Baroque pediment, with spacing by four slender cylindrical buttresses, crowned by conical spires. Inside, the limestone image of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, from the 15th century and perhaps from the first church, with carved altars and adorned with tiles made in Coimbra, is worth a visit. Also worth mentioning is the S. Pedro Chapel with its 16th century image. It is said that one of Inês de Castro's assassins, Diogo Lopes Pacheco, settled here, and his surnames still exist today in Piódão, the Lopes and the Pachecos; the latter had the right to their own gallery in the Church of Lourosa. In the Numeramento Joanino of 1527, the first national population census, Piódão appears as part of the village of Avô, as "casall do piodam" with only two residents. It later became part of the Civil Parish of Aldeia das Dez, from which it became independent in 1676. On 24th October 1855, it became part of the Municipality of Arganil, when the municipality of Avô was extinct. However, with regard to religious jurisdiction, it remains linked to the archpriestship of Avô. At the end of the 19th century, Canon Manuel Fernandes Nogueira founded a School in Piódão, which many call the Seminary, which operated between 1886 and 1906, and which brought together many young people, creating a cultural centre of profound importance for the area. The village of Piódão is characterised by its unique layout in an amphitheatre shape, referred to as a schist nativity scene, with the houses being of great formal, architectural and aesthetic unity. The houses, in schist stone masonry, have roofs made with slabs in the same material. The windows, small in size, have, like the doors, strong colours painted on the frames, and at Easter, crosses made with the blessed laurel branch, are placed on the lintels of the doors to ward off the evil eye. Through its steep, narrow and winding lanes, which form nooks in a mesh-like and largely preserved structure, a trickle of water runs here and there in an irregular channel: the aqueduct. Of note is the simple Algares Fountain. Agricultural and pastoral activities have continued up to this day, as in the past, and are an integral part of the way of life of its inhabitants, seen essentially as a way of subsistence and survival. Also noteworthy are the Eira, where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view, and the Bread Oven. The village has been classified as a Place of Public Interest since 1978.
