Trancoso

Here, visitors learn who Gonçalo Anes Bandarra, the prophet and shoemaker, was. Born in Trancoso in the early 1500s, he died in the middle of that same century. There are various multimedia applications, surprises, a video about his life and work (including his imprisonment by the Inquisition in 1541) and a documentary on the anthropological memories gathered from the popular wisdom, supported by traditions and not on historical facts.
