This unique archaeological site was declared World Heritage Site on August, 1st 2010 as an extension of the Valle del Coa’s archaeological park. It is located next to the banks of the Águeda River, about 15 kms downstream from the town of Ciudad Rodrigo (Salamanca). There is also a bridge and an old mill with the same name where the course of the river has its last ford before it fits into the Arribes. In this archaeological site, we can find pools that contain water, even in the moments when the stowage is the biggest.
If you want to visit the site, it is advisable to book a visit before you come. You can search the availability of the visit on the website and you can know more information about the possibility of a virtual visit to the sites.

On September 27, 1810, the French troops commanded by Marshal Massena, were defeated in the Serra do Buçaco by the Anglo-Portuguese army of general Wellington.

This is a visit to an exhibition that includes some experimental tourism activities. Aimed for high school students, they will go back to the beginning of the 19th century, and fear a third Napoleonic invasion. For that reason, it is necessary to defeat the French troops by fatigue and hunger. The mills stop grinding cereals to house ammunition and gunpowder, the policy of scorched earth, the ration for each soldier, the conservation of food, a famine that we will explore through objects of the daily life of a Napoleonic soldier.
At the end of the activity, an action to motivate students to the importance of the second goal of sustainable development – eradicating hunger – will be proposed.
