33 – Arouca Historical Center with Why Not On Nature
#secundario, #universitario
Throughout the streets of the village of Arouca, you can discover the nooks and crannies that contain more than 1000 years of history, boosting that of Portugal and intersecting with that of Spain…
Linked to the history of nationality, Arouca, by the hand of Queen Mafalda herself, granddaughter of King Afonso Henriques, took the reins of education for many of Portugal’s female nobility for many years. Come and see one of the best sacred art museums in the country in an almost medieval setting that ends at the Calvary with a fantastic view of the town of Arouca and the Serra da Freita from the churchyard of the Capela do Carmo.
Points of Interest: Monastery of Santa Maria de Arouca, Museum of Sacred Art, Pelourinho, Terreiro de Santa Mafalda, Igreja Matriz, Caminho das Cruzes, Calvário, Casa dos Malafaias, Praça Brandão de Vasconcelos, Capela do Carmo
Offer for accompanying teachers.
