Dome do GeoscopePhoto: Bernardo Conde, Aldeias do Xisto
The Geoscope – Fajão Astronomical Observatory is a multidisciplinary project, a convergence point that unites tourism, science, pedagogy, and territorial development. It promotes immersion in the journey of knowledge and challenges us to reflect on our place in the cosmos and on the planet. The structure consists of a dome and a Kiosk located in the village.
The Dome, a semi-spherical steel dome, 7.5 meters high and 15 meters in diameter, is a place of observation and sensory knowledge at the top of Fajão. It's a free-entry and access observation structure, but if you do not have a scheduled organized visit, it is advisable to bring your own equipment.
The Kiosk is a reception and welcoming space that integrates theoretical and practical content, with models and virtual reality, and playful-pedagogical activities. At the Kiosk, you can also check the calendar of events and dark sky observations and guided visits with certified tour operators.
