The Chapel of Curvaceiras is located in the serene village of Curvaceiras Pequenas, which is part of the municipality of Tomar. Situated within a larger area known as Casal de Santo António, its position offers an experience of tranquility, typical of the small rural communities in the region.
This particular location, near Curvaceiras halt, highlights its integration into an accessible territory, without losing its calm and embracing atmosphere.
The area where the Chapel of Curvaceiras stands is a place with a past dating back to the Roman era. Archaeological excavations in its surroundings have revealed the presence of vestiges of a Roman villa, offering insight into daily life at that time. These findings include construction elements such as roof tiles and bricks, which indicate the architecture and infrastructure present.
In addition to the buildings, everyday artifacts were discovered, such as common pottery, as well as coins and amphorae, illustrating commercial exchanges and domestic life. The Roman legacy is even deeper with the identification of an incineration burial and a funerary inscription, which inform us about the customs and beliefs of the inhabitants of this ancient community.
