About
The Memorial of Ermida is a type of monument of which there are only six examples left in the entire Portugal. These monuments are associated either with burial places, or with the evocation of someone's memory, or even with the passage of funeral processions. Legend has it that 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 Memorial is part of the Route of the Romanesque.
