The Granite Landmark 72 is located at Quinta dos Avidagos, a property in the tranquil village of Alvações do Corgo, which belongs to the municipality of Santa Marta de Penaguião. This location is set within a characteristic rural landscape of the region, marked by slopes and valleys that shape the territory, with the Corgo River playing an important role in the natural configuration of the area. The landmark's position allows for observation of the surrounding agricultural and forest environment, offering a perspective on the serenity of the countryside.
This landmark, sculpted from granite, stands out for its simplicity and the natural robustness of the material. The designation "72" inscribed on its surface gives it a specific identification, suggesting its function as a reference point in an ancient network of territorial or geodetic markings. Its presence recalls the historical importance of delimiting and mapping space, in a region where the rural landscape and its boundaries have been defined over generations.
Integrated into Quinta dos Avidagos, the Granite Landmark 72 offers an opportunity for contemplating the history and evolution of the landscape. More than just a simple stone, it is a testament to the permanence and organization of the territory. It symbolizes a link with ancient practices of land measurement and management, inviting reflection on the human relationship with rural and natural spaces. Its sobriety and harmonious integration into the rural environment contribute to its silent, yet significant, presence in this corner of Alvações do Corgo.
