The Sepultura de Albergaria is located in the serene Vila Meã, a locality that is part of Oliveira do Conde, in the municipality of Carregal do Sal, within the district of Viseu. This region, characterized by its rural landscapes and an atmosphere of calm and tranquility, invites the discovery of a territory where nature harmonizes with vestiges of a distant past. Its position offers genuine contact with the Beira environment, far from urban bustle.
Although the designation may suggest an ancient quarry, the Sepultura de Albergaria should be understood as a space dedicated to the interpretation and valorization of local heritage. This place functions as a reference point for understanding the history and culture of the region, offering a perspective on ancestral life and how the territory has been shaped over the centuries. It is a center that invites reflection on the past and the roots of the community.
The designation "Albergaria" refers us to a historical context of ancient paths and secular routes, which often served as shelter or stopping places for travelers. The Sepultura de Albergaria, as a space, fits into this narrative, perhaps exploring the routes that once crossed the region and the communities that inhabited them. It is a place that allows for a deeper understanding of the evolution of the Carregal do Sal municipality and its connection to a vaster and deeper history, offering a window into local roots and traditions.
The building that houses the Sepultura de Albergaria features an architecture that harmoniously integrates into the surrounding landscape of Vila Meã. Its design seeks to dialogue with the rural environment and the constructive characteristics of the region. The presence of this place is discreet but significant, inviting exploration of its interior and the discovery of what this space has to reveal about the material and immaterial heritage of the area.
