About
The Memorial of Sobrado is a funerary monument composed of two vertical stones with engraved crosses that support two horizontal slabs. The upper one is rectangular while the lower one, which corresponds to a sepulchral lid, has a round surface. Legend has it that, like the Memorials of Ermida (Penafiel) and Alpendorada (Marco de Canaveses) this was one of the stops of the procession that carried the body of D. Mafalda - the granddaughter of king D. Afonso Henriques - to the monastery of Arouca. This Monument is part of the Route of the Romanesque.
