Dolmen of Soajo (Megalithic Monuments)
Part of the megalithic monuments known as the Antas do Soajo, the Mezio Megalithic Site consists of about a dozen monuments scattered over a high plain of about 2km in length, erected around 5000 years ago.
The megalithic group of Mezio is a case of rare importance, not only because of the scientific information it provides, but also due to the recovery and enhancement of our heritage from such a remote and unique period.
Granaries of Soajo
These granaries are distributed, side by side, across a large outcrop of granite, which serves as a collective threshing floor. There are twenty-four granaries in the Minho-Galician style, with a long, low stone body and variations in the forms of the roof posts, bases and doorframes.
These architectural elements can be dated back to the 18th and 19th centuries, the oldest being from 1782. They are now classified as Buildings of Public Interest.
