45 minsAdmission Ticket FreeChapel Our Lady of the Snows and the ruins of the first Dominican monastery At the top of Serra de Montejunto, you will visit the Santuário de Nossa Senhora das Neves (Santuary of Our Lady of the Snows) - 13th century. Next to the chapel are the ruins of the first Dominican monastery established in Portugal. A place of pilgrimages since medieval times until nowadays (annually in August), it is known that the construction of the chapel predates that of the Dominican convent, built on top of the mountain in the 13th century. The chapel is clearly related to the convent as it is attached to it, on the side of the building there is a tile panel alluding to the history of the Dominican Order. Currently, the chapel excels in simplicity, highlighting the image of Our Lady of the Snows from the 16th century.Serra de Montejunto Protected Landscape

45 minsAdmission Ticket FreeRoyal Ice Factory Interpretation Centre Being a landmark of industrial archeology, it is the only one of its kind in Portugal and Europe, being a symbol of medieval technology. Internationally considered unique, thanks to the originality of its structures and good preservation conditions, the complex of the ‘Real Fábrica do Gelo’ (Royal Ice Factory) was built around 1741 in the Montejunto hills. “It is said that when the month of September came, shallow tanks were filled with water and during the night it was expected that the cold would freeze it. When the ice formed, the factory guard went on horseback to the village of Pragança and, with a bugle, woke the workers. Before sunrise, with arduous and hard work, the ice sheets were broken, the fragments piled up and then carried to the storage silos, where the ice was conserved until the arrival of summer. “ (Text taken from the Natural.PT website)Castelo de Obidos
