Guardians of Ribatejo Tradition

This place represents the central point of a group dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of the rich folk traditions of Ribatejo. The Rancho Folclórico Samora e o Passado assumes the role of guardian of dances, songs, and costumes that tell the story and daily life of the region's people over time.

The Past in Motion

The name of the folklore group, which includes the reference to "o Passado" (the Past), emphasizes the importance of remembering and celebrating the experiences of yesteryear. Although it is not a museum in the formal sense, this is a center where collective memory is actively recreated through music, dance, and conviviality. Visiting this site is to understand a little more about how popular history remains dynamic and relevant today, through the commitment and passion of its members.
