Monte Cimeiro

One of the last strongholds of rural architecture of the region. The houses in this abandoned village are low or have two floors and were built with quartzite of the region, a dark and brownish stone that contrasts with the yellowish orange clay mortar, lime and sand that sustain them. Of the twenty homes, there remains a rock walkway flanked by high walls and walls in ruin, already without the small wooden doors and windows, in a pile of stones and roof tiles, where the lime mortar or some vestige of the interior architecture still persists, such as the eaves extended with a slab or the pilheiras, embedded in the wall, where the dishes were kept.
