History
Ponte das Três Entradas ~bridge with the three entrances~ is not really a village but actually three different neighbourhoods. One part belongs to São Sebastião da Feira, another part belongs to Santa Ovaia and the part where the Quinta is situated belongs to Aldeia das Dez.
Aldeia das Dez ~village of ten~ lies against the northern part of the mountain O Culcorinho at 500 meters above sea level. The village is part of the parish of Saint Bartholomeu and its history goes way back to the pre-Roman era. Marks from this famous period can still be found in the ruins of Castro Luso-Romano.
In 1899 the municipality built the Ponte das Três Entradas and opened up Aldeia das Dez which was almost totally isolated until then. Today you can make a beautiful trip through the area; from Relva do Trigo to Aldeia das Dez and further on to Santuário de Nossa Senhora das Preçes and Piódão.
The Quinta was an old grain farm, the name trigo refers to wheat. Parts of the building are very old and made of granite which is very typical for this region. There is also an old water mill next to the Quinta of which you can see the old mill stones in the river.
