Sortelha

In the village, there is a Diving Fountain capped with an Alminha (“Little Soul”)/Cross. The diving fountain has an arch in a barrel vault and for hygiene reasons it has been closed. Its construction dates back to the medieval period, but was remodelled in the 19th century, as shown by the inscription “1865/69” followed by the initials “A. M.”.
