Mining riches, shelters/caves and natural lakes were excellent attractions in other times. Today the small town struggles with interiority and isolation.

Sebastião, a simple but graceful temple with only one nave. On the outskirts, in a dominant position which offers a majestic panoramic view, is the Chapel of Our Lady of Pilar.
