Largo do Souto is located in the town of Cortegaça, part of the municipality of Ovar. This square occupies a central position, acting as a confluence point for several of its main roads, namely Rua do Gavinho, Rua das Cavadas, and Rua de São José. Its location allows for a fluid connection with the rest of the urban fabric, making it a place for passage and stay.
With a deep connection to local history, Largo do Souto was, for a long period, the main center of the parish of Cortegaça. Its importance lies in the role it played in the community's development and dynamics, serving as a neuralgic point for the daily life of the locality. This historical legacy gives it a symbolic character, referring to times when it was the pulse of the town.
Recently, this central space has benefited from significant interventions, focused on the requalification of the surrounding roads. The objective was to improve the conditions of mobility, circulation, and safety, both for those traveling by vehicle and for pedestrians. This renovation contributed to a more organized and safe environment, inviting people to pass through and enjoy the place.
Largo do Souto now offers a pleasant environment, ideal for those seeking a tranquil space in the heart of Cortegaça. Its renovated design promotes safety and fluidity of movement, inviting people to walk and appreciate the surroundings. It is a place that reflects local life, allowing visitors to observe the daily routine of the parish in a well-maintained setting.
