Located in the Caramão neighborhood, in the parishes of Ajuda and Belém, in Lisbon, these windmills are a point of interest for those visiting the area.
The Caramão Windmills were probably built in the 18th century. Originally, they were used to grind cereals, a common activity in the region.
Unlike the Santana Windmills, the Caramão Windmills are in a precarious state, which may limit visitation. The preservation of this heritage is important to maintain local history.
A requalification of the windmills is planned by the parish councils of Ajuda and Belém. This initiative aims to improve the accessibility and overall condition of the windmills, making them more attractive to visitors.
The windmills offer a unique view of the region's agricultural history and are an ideal location for photographic walks. The view of the Serra de Monsanto is also an added value.
The windmills are a symbol of Lisbon's cultural heritage. Visiting this area allows one to better understand the importance of milling in the city's rural life.
The area is easily accessible, and can be visited on foot or by public transport, making it an interesting stop for those exploring Belém and its surroundings.
